2. When do you qualify for reimbursement?

You are only entitled to reimbursement of vaccinations and medicines if they are required according to the National Coordination Centre for Travel Advice (Landelijk Coördinatiecentrum Reizigersadvisering (LCR)). Your care provider establishes the medical necessity based on your personal situation.

By virtue of the supplementary Top insurance, you are entitled to reimbursement of medicines, vaccinations and the necessary consultations.

4. No statutory personal contribution

There is no statutory personal contribution for vaccinations or medicines that fall under this reimbursement.

5. No excess

Reimbursements under the supplementary insurances are not subject to an excess.

6. Who can you go to?

If you need vaccinations, you can go to a GP or a vaccination centre which meets the quality requirements, such as LCR, a municipal health service (GGD), Meditel, Thuisvaccinatie.nl and Travel Health Clinics. Visit the website of the LCR to find a vaccination centre near you.

Dispensing chemists and dispensing general practitioners may supply the substances for vaccinations and medicines on the basis of a prescription. You must enclose a copy of the prescription when submitting the invoice.
