Frequently Asked Questions
Am I entitled to health care?
Everyone has a right to health care, even if you are uninsured. Are you an undocumented migrant and in need of medical care? Even if you do not have a legal residence permit, you have a right to health care in the Netherlands.
How does the healthcare system work in the Netherlands?
For all non-emergency care, the point of contact is a general practitioner in your area of residence. Even if you are uninsured and/or undocumented, you have the right to register with a family doctor in your area. Preferably register with the GP where your partner/friend/roommate is also already registered.
Is the family doctor full? Then you find another nearest GP. Cost: the GP will ask you if you can contribute to the cost of care. If you have this ability, please contribute. Don’t have any money? Even then, you are still entitled to care at the family doctor’s office. If the family doctor refuses you care, you or the family doctor can contact us at info@Kruispost.nl
I am new to Amsterdam and have no doctor. Where can I go?
If you can’t manage to register with a regular GP, you can use Kruispost. If you live outside Amsterdam then go to the family doctor near the residence where you stay most often or contact the Red Cross Whatsapp Helpdesk and ask for assistance in finding a family doctor.
What can I do if I suddenly need emergency care?
In case of emergency, you can go to any hospital or call 112 for an ambulance at the scene. When in doubt, call your family doctor or the Central Emergency Room after 5 p.m. and on weekends 088-0030600.
I have no papers and have a toothache. Can I go to a dentist?
Yes, you can go to the dentist, but patients over the age of 18 must pay for it themselves. At Kruispost, we offer dental care for a voluntary contribution of €5 – €10 view information here
I was told to pay for treatment at the hospital, is this true?
If there is a referral to a specialist, you are entitled to an appointment and to treatment. See here what you need to know before you go to the hospital In Amsterdam. Here is the list of hospitals you can go to. In case of emergency, you can go to any hospital.
I have no papers and am pregnant and I need a midwife. What can I do?
You can make an appointment with a midwife (when you are at least 3 months pregnant). If you cannot pay the bill, the midwife can reclaim up to 100% of the cost from the(CAK).
My child does not have a valid residence permit and is sick. Can I take her to the doctor?
Yes, everyone is entitled to essential medical care. So you can make an appointment with a general practitioner. If you cannot pay, the doctor can claim reimbursement from the CAK.
I am afraid to go to a doctor.
Medical personnel are bound by professional secrecy and may not provide information to the police or IND.
I need medicine, but I can't pay for it. I can't get health insurance because I don't have a valid residence permit. What can I do?

I am not accepted by a primary care physician and need help accessing health care, what can I do?
