When you are sick or have an accident, your legally required health insurance intervenes. But what it reimburses is not nearly enough when you end up in the hospital. Just think of the extra lab costs, consultations, medication, fee supplements ...
To do this, you can call on your hospitalization insurance. It will pay for your hospital stay, your treatment and aftercare. Hospitalization insurance also covers a large part of your costs in case of childbirth.
Like family insurance, hospitalization insurance is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. The medical costs involved in a hospitalization quickly run into the thousands of dollars. That makes the relatively small insurance premium more than worth it.
