What happens if I don t have health insurance in the Netherlands?
What happens if I don t have health insurance in the Netherlands? If you do not take out a standard insurance package, the Central Administration Office (CAK) will register you with an insurer and the premium will be withheld from your pay. If you need medical care but are not insured, you must pay the costs yourself.
Can tourists go to the doctor in the Netherlands?
Tourists should bring a supply of their necessary medicine and provide proper documentation while traveling. American tourists are reminded medical services aren't provided free of charge, as the Dutch National Health Service does not cover visitors to the Netherlands.
