General practitioner care

Finding a Dutch GP can be difficult. This is the case for everyone with a Dutch health insurance, not just for HollandZorg insured. 

But rest assured, it is not obligatory to be registered with a GP. You can always request to be seen under the 'passantentarief' or passer-by tarif. To achieve this, call a local GP's office early in the morning, to see if a one-time appointment is available. 

In case of an emergency, you can call any GP in your area. At weekends, you can call the huisartsenpost (out-of-hours GP service) or, if a life is in danger, call 112. All GPs are listed in our Care finder.

GPs will be charging us a quarterly registration fee. They will usually be sending the invoice to us directly. The amount charged will depend on your age and postal code. Therefore, the fee may vary. The registration fee will not count towards your compulsory excess.

Some insurers are offering a palliakit (palliative care kit) to insured for the time surrounding their death. This kit is a box filled with medicine and nursing aids that may be needed in the hours, days and months before a person's death. The palliakit may be placed in your home by your GP. This way, the materials are available to you when you need them and you won't be subject to delays in ordering or delivery during this difficult time.

With a HollandZorg insurance, you won't be needing a palliakit. Instead, we have made reliable agreements with your pharmacies to ensure any medicines and nursing aids you may need, will be delivered directly to your pharmacy.This way, we won't be wasting any expensive medical supplies.
