Overview of healthcare insurers in the Netherlands (2025)
In the Netherlands, you have the choice of 41 different health insurance companies. It may seem like these are all different and stand-alone insurers. But nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, these insurers are all subsidiaries of a few corporate umbrellas.

What is a corporate umbrella?
An corporate umbrella is a large financial institution that has several subsidiary companies, in this case, health insurers. These insurers often have their own customer service and operate completely independently, but do not carry the risk of the insurance. They are also often steered by the umbrella corporation. Some corporate umbrellas also offer health insurance.
Example
DSW health insurer is a corporate umbrella company. DSW subsidiaries include:
- Stad Holland
- Intwente
- DSW
Which are the four largest health insurers?
People often talk about ‘the four major health insurers’. These are Zilveren Kruis (Achmea), VGZ, CZ and Menzis. More than 80% of Dutch insurances policies are with one of these four major health insurers or one of their subsidiary companies. For example OHRA (from CZ) or FBTO (from Achmea).
