I can no longer pay my health care costs
Worried about money?
Because you can no longer pay your healthcare costs, you can't pay your other bills either, and more and more debt is accumulating.
Talking helps.
But that is precisely what is so difficult. In the Netherlands we don't talk easily about money worries. Even though everyone has money worries at some point in their lives. The danger? That you think - and say: it will be all right. Many people wait too long before seeking help. Avoid getting (further) into trouble. Because the sooner you talk about it, the sooner you can be helped. By a friend or neighbor. By Hulp op Maat or another organization in our municipality.

Check if you are entitled to care allowance
Find out what you can do in your situation. You may be eligible for healthcare benefits
Care allowance is money from the central government to help pay for your health insurance. Are you entitled to care allowance? This depends on, among other things:
- The income of you and the people you live with
- Your age
In short, if you are chronically ill or disabled, see if you can get money back from the IRS.
Find out if you can get special assistance to pay for medical expenses
You can also check with the municipality to see if you are entitled to special assistance. Special assistance is meant for costs that are necessary but that you cannot pay yourself. For example, for certain medical expenses.

Do you have a low income or no income and struggle to pay for your health insurance. And do you have chronic illness or disability, discover the Municipal Policy of Geldrop-Mierlo.

You can often pay your deductible in installments too!
Health insurance includes the compulsory excess. This is the amount you co-pay for care from the basic insurance.
The mandatory deductible is €385. This is a large amount for many people to pay at once. Many health insurance companies allow you to agree on a payment schedule and pay the obligatory deductible excess in installments. Ask your health insurance company about this.
Knock on the door of the IRS.
Some medical expenses are not covered by insurance. You can often deduct these on your income tax return.
