Changing of the Guard

Nearly a million people have switched insurers this year. De Volkskrant reports this on the basis of an initial inventory by Zorgverzekeraars Nederland (ZN).

According to ZN director Pieter Hasekamp, ​​the percentage of switchers this year is 5 to 6 percent. This is one and a half times more than in previous years. A conscious choice of consumers and a trend break, according to Hasekamp.

Cheaper
Due to a significant increase in the premium for the basic insurance an increase in the number of switchers has already been taken into account. In particular, internet insurance policies are popular † These are considerably cheaper, which is partly due to the lack of service departments and service points in hospitals or care centers, which are offered by traditional health insurers. AnderZorg van Menzis is currently the largest internet insurance company.
