The fastest referrals

If you have medical problems, you will want rapid and good quality assistance. Your GP will usually refer you to the nearest hospital. You may then be added to a waiting list. Care mediation helps to ensure that you receive assistance more quickly. All you need to do is call the care mediation department and we will start looking for hospitals that are specialised in certain forms of medical treatment. The main focus is on the speed and quality of the care. Our care mediators are in contact with all hospitals in the Netherlands and even some in Belgium and Germany. If you agree to the care advice they provide, our care mediator will make all the necessary arrangements. Thanks to our guarantee agreements you can often get an appointment within two weeks. The sooner your problem is dealt with, the sooner your life can get back to normal. Call 0900 - 9590 (local rate) or surf to www.averoachmea.nl/zorgbemiddeling to arrange assistance.

department and you will soon have an appointment with a doctor or specialist. 2. Care guarantee

Care guarantee means you are guaranteed follow-up assistance for 65 common forms of treatment within 10 working days. 3. No obligatory deductible excess in the case of certain operations You do not pay any obligatory deductible excess for a number of common operations if you make the necessary arrangements via our care mediation service. The great thing about this is that we also ensure that you are provided with good quality care at the earliest opportunity.

If you have medical problems, you will want good quality assistance at the earliest opportunity. It is our job to provide it. All you have to do is call the Avro Achmea care mediation

The deductible excess


What you have to pay and what not

Everyone who has to pay a premium for the basic insurance policy also has an obligatory deductible excess. In 2011 this is 170.00 per insured party per calendar year. This deductible excess is set by the government to keep care affordable. This means you have to pay the first 170.00 of the medical costs incurred yourself. The costs on top of this are then eligible for reimbursement. Avro Achmea allows you to opt for a voluntary deductible excess in addition to the obligatory deductible excess. The higher your voluntary deductible excess, the lower your premium will be. There are several ways in which you can increase your deductible excess. The details can be found on the back of your policy document. From all reimbursements of care expenses which we issue during the course of the year, we first deduct the obligatory deductible excess of 170.00 and then any self-selected voluntary deductible excess. If you want to adjust your voluntary deductible excess, you can do so every year by calling 0900 - 9590 (local rate). The deductible excess does not apply to: Sample calculation 2: obligatory and voluntary deductible excess Mrs Smith has opted for a voluntary deductible excess of 200.00 over and above the obligatory deductible excess. Her hospital submits a claim directly to us for treatment costing 700.00. We pay the hospital directly. We then additionally charge Mrs Smith her obligatory deductible excess ( 170.00), followed by her voluntary deductible excess ( 200.00). Mrs Smith therefore has to pay a total of 370.00. After that Mrs Smith will pay no more deductible excess for the rest of the year. Any treatment she undergoes in that year will, therefore, be reimbursed. Sample calculation 1: obligatory deductible excess alone Mr Jones only has the deductible excess required by law of 170.00. He pays a bill of 190.00 to the care provider himself and then submits the invoice to us as a claim. The first 170.00 of this invoice are charged to his deductible excess as required by law. We then reimburse the rest ( 20.00). Mr Jones will then pay no more deductible excess for the rest of the year. Any treatment he undergoes in that year will, therefore, be reimbursed. Your bills are always set off against the obligatory deductible excess and lastly the voluntary deductible excess (if you have opted for one).

GP visits (with the exception of subcontracted laboratory tests). Care which is reimbursed via your supplementary (dental) insurance policy. Care and dental care for children aged up to 18. Articles on loan (such as VDU spectacles). Maternity care and obstetrical assistance. Chain-based care and follow-up checks of the donor.

No deductible excess thanks to care mediation


In the case of a number of forms of specialist medical treatment

We want to help you find the best possible care as quickly as possible. We want to do this on the basis of consultation with you because the Dutch healthcare system really offers you a number of choices. One example is the useful information which is available on the quality of various forms of specialist medical treatment. If you ask us for advice regarding which hospital offers the best treatment you can, in a number of cases, even become eligible for exemption from the obligatory deductible excess. All you have to do is contact us on 0900 - 9590 (local rate) or surf to www.averoachmea.nl/ zorgbemiddeling to find out which forms of treatment this exemption applies to.

On paying bills and their reimbursement


How to submit bills

As an insured party you often do not receive any bills at all. In fact, most care providers submit bills to us directly. This is handy and relieves you of the worry! If you do receive a bill, this may be because we do not have agreements with all care providers regarding direct payments. You have to pay the bill yourself and then claim the costs from us.

Good to know Please let us know if the bill you have submitted is the consequence of an accident.

Step 1 Find the original bill. Step 2 Check whether your name, address, place of residence and date of birth are referred to on the bill. Step 3 Write down the client number of the person who has received the treatment in the top right-hand corner of the bill. You can find the client number of the care card.

Step 4 Make a copy of the bill for your own records. Step 5 Send the original bill without* any accompanying letter or claims form* to: Avro Achmea Afdeling Declaratieservice Postbus 59005 1040 KA Amsterdam The bill will be processed within 10 days.

* In the case of medical expenses incurred abroad, travel expenses incurred using your own or public transport and visiting or accommodation costs, you have to complete a claims form and submit it with the original bill. The forms can be downloaded via www.averoachmea.nl/zorgverzekeringen under Meer informatie [More Information] and then Declareren [Claims].

When permission is required for treatment


How to get authorisation?

In some cases you will need permission beforehand in order for treatment, medicines or travel costs to be reimbursed. We refer to this approval as an authorisation. Dental implants and an insulin pump are examples of treatment or a nursing article for which you need authorisation. You can find details of the types of treatment for which you need an authorisation in our summary of reimbursements and policy conditions. You or your care provider can apply for authorisation using the

special form which can be found at www.averoachmea.nl/zorgverzekeringen. You can also telephone our Customer Services on: 0900 - 9590 (local rate). Travel costs Insured parties who have to undergo certain forms of treatment or who are wheelchair-dependent can receive a reimbursement of (part of) the travel costs from and to the hospital. For this you need an authorisation for travel costs. You can apply for this via the special Travel Line: 0900 - 23 02 340 ( 0.10 p/m).

Nursing articles without authorisation For some nursing articles, for example hearing aids, incontinence materials and ortheses, you can simply contact the supplier we have contracted using the referral from your GP or specialist without any authorisation. Details on all our contracted suppliers can be found at Find your care provider at www.averoachmea.nl/zorgverzekeringen. Alternatively you can call our nursing articles line: 0900 - 20 08 010 ( 0.10 p/m).

When things change


How do you change your personal details?

Sometimes things in life change. The same applies to the details we have on you. If you want to change your policy and opt for another health insurance, please contact your insurance adviser. You can also use the change form at www.averoachmea. nl/zorgverzekeringen

We receive notification about you moving house within the Netherlands, a change in initial(s), additional name details or surname, a marriage or registered partnership, a divorce (except in the event of a policyholder change) or death via the municipal records database. There is therefore no need for you to inform us of these changes yourself. Neither do you need to inform us of any change in dentist, GP or pharmacy.

For administrative changes relating to a birth, moving house abroad (in that case you should check whether you retain your right to basic insurance in the Netherlands), a different telephone number, e-mail address, account number or payment method, you can simply call our Customer Services on 0900 - 9590 (local rate) or use the change form at www.averoachmea.nl/zorgverzekeringen.

Your health insurance


For which types of care are we insured in the Netherlands? What is the difference between the basic insurance and the supplementary insurance policies? Our care system in a nutshell.

The Dutch care system The government introduced our current care system on 1 January 2006. It consists of a basic insurance policy with an obligatory deductible excess. Everyone in the Netherlands is obliged to be insured for medical expenses and everyone aged 18 or over pays a premium. You may be eligible for a premium costs subsidy. This subsidy is called the care allowance. More information is available at www.toeslagen.nl. What is basic insurance? Basic insurance is for everyone in the Netherlands. The government sets the basic insurance reimbursements every year. Zorg Plan [Care Plan] Zorg Plan means you receive care from care providers with whom we have made agreements. As a result you pay a slightly lower premium. If you use other care providers, the reimbursement will be lower and you may have to pay an additional charge. We pay bills directly (less the statutory personal contributions). Keuze Zorg [Options Care] Plan The Keuze Zorg Plan gives you complete freedom to choose whichever care provider you want. It does not matter whether the care provider has a contract with us or not. You always receive a full reimbursement to the maximum of the statutory amount, or to the maximum of the rate (applica-

ble on the market) in the Netherlands (less the statutory personal contributions). What cover does the (Keuze) Zorg Plan provide? Medical care provided by GPs, hospitals, specialists and midwives. Hospital admissions. Nursing articles. Medicines. Maternity care. Patient transport. Paramedic assistance (limited physiotherapy/remedial therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and dietary advice). Dental care (up to the age of 18). What cover does a supplementary insurance policy provide? You can take out supplementary insurance in addition to basic insurance. For example for a reimbursement of the statutory personal contributions, or for more comprehensive cover for physiotherapy, dental costs or emergency help when abroad. Avro Achmea allows you to choose from different supplementary insurance policies and separate dental insurance policies. The higher the supplementary insurance policy, the more extensive the cover and the higher the reimbursements.
