Advantages of expat health insurance
You have a free choice of GPs, other doctors, dentists, and hospitals recognized and accredited in the Netherlands or your country of destination.
Simply remember that hospitals must be under permanent medical management and have sufficient diagnostic and therapeutic facilities.
If you get a job, you can request to upgrade directly to your Feather account, and we will assist you with the transition.
In most cases, we can even refund any overlap to ensure you are not double charged at any time.
