2027 health insurance premiums announced, check your policy here

Healthcare insurers in the Netherlands have announced their premiums for the 2027 calendar year, revealing significant price increases across the board. The hikes vary considerably among providers, with some companies raising monthly costs by as little as 5 euros while others have implemented increases of nearly 20 euros. Menzis, for example, will charge 165.75 euros for its cheapest policy, while Zilveren Kruis is increasing its base premium to 159.45 euros. In contrast, CZ faces larger adjustments, bringing its base rate to 176.25 euros per month. DSW had previously announced a rate of 173.25 euros in late October.

Consumers are advised to wait until all supplementary insurance premiums are finalized, which must be completed by November 19, before comparing plans. Policyholders have until December 31 to cancel their current health insurance and until February 1 to secure a new policy for the upcoming year. These deadlines are critical for those looking to switch providers, as the new coverage will apply retroactively to January 1.
