Private health insurance

Erasmus University strongly recommends an AON or Lippmann Insurance. Both companies have a long and outstanding history in the field of medical insurances for foreign students and staff.

AON Insurance

Aon Students Insurance provides a complete and affordable insurance package for students, interns, teachers and researchers staying in The Netherlands. The package includes all necessary - and mandatory - insurances required for an educational related stay in The Netherlands, such as medical expenses, travel, liability, legal assistance and personal possesions. The insurance premium is calculated per day, there are no set-up costs, administrative fees or any other charges.

Lippmann Insurance

Erasmus University Rotterdam offers also the possibility for an insurance passport for foreign students an staff via the Lippmann insurance company (W.B.D. Lippmann Group). The insurance costs 35 euro per month and it covers not only acute medical and dental help, but also personal liability insurance, law assistance and the loss of luggage (to a maximum of 1,363 euro). Application forms are available at the Erasmus Student Service Centre.

Bringing your local insurance policy

It is also possible to bring your own insurance policy to the Netherlands if you do not have to take the basic healthcare insurance. In this case you have to bring with you your EU Health Insurance Card (http://europa.eu.int/comm/employment_social/healthcard/index_en.htm). Upon arrival in the Netherlands you send a copy of this form, including your address in the Netherlands, to this Dutch insurance company:

ANIS Zorgverzekeringen
P.O. Box 4200
3800 EE Amersfoort

When you consult a general practitioner or when you are referred to a hospital, the invoice will directly be send to ANIS Zorgverzekeringen.
