Collaboration with " Health , and Zekerheid"

Affordable health insurance with comprehensive coverage, specifically for people with lower incomes. The municipality of Voorschoten and health insurers Health and Zekerheid will work together to make this happen. Today, they signed a new agreement for at least three years.

Under the agreement, people with lower incomes can take advantage of the municipal health insurance plan, a more affordable health insurance option thanks to a discount from Health and Zekerheid, as well as a monthly contribution from the municipality. Alderman Paul de Bruijn signed the agreement on behalf of the municipality. Division Manager Casper van den Bergh signed it on behalf of Health and Zekerheid.

Coverage is tailored to your needs

Alderman De Bruijn: “It’s great that we can once again offer this discounted insurance plan—in partnership with Health and Zekerheid—to low-income residents. The coverage under this municipal policy is tailored to individual needs. This allows us to provide targeted support to improve the health of our residents. Of course, residents decide for themselves which policy to choose.”

Health , and Zekerheid is also pleased with the new agreement. “We believe the municipal insurance policy serves a social purpose,” says division manager Van den Bergh. “This ensures that the ‘ Health ’ remains available and affordable for people with lower incomes. Health and Zekerheid is a nonprofit organization with no shareholders. So we don’t need to make a profit on the municipal insurance policy.”

Choose from three packages

Residents who are eligible for the municipal health insurance plan will receive a letter from the municipality in mid-November. The letter will detail the premiums, the municipality’s contribution, and how residents can enroll. There are three supplemental coverage packages: the AV-Gemeente Basis or AV-Gemeente Standaard for those with low healthcare costs, and the AV-Gemeente Top for those who need a lot of Health .

Starting November 16, residents can compare the packages at www.gezondverzekerd.nl. They can also register there. Applications are submitted to the municipality of Voorschoten, which reviews them to ensure all required information is included. If so, the municipality will register the applicant with Health and Zekerheid.
