Poorly insured on winter sports

Every year, more winter sports enthusiasts run into financial problems because they do not go on holiday or have insufficient insurance. This is apparent from research by the Dutch Ski Association.

Accident during winter sports? Be warned:before you know it, Medical costs are skyrocketing † These costs are not always (fully) reimbursed.

Many winter sports enthusiasts wrongly assume that their health insurance and any travel insurance cover all financial risks. However, if health insurers already reimburse medical treatments abroad, they do so according to the price level in the Netherlands.

100 percent covered?
Only the combination of health insurance, travel insurance, coverage for additional medical assistance and winter sports cover insures all costs that unfortunate winter sports enthusiasts have to deal with.
