Hi,

I'm diabetic and I'm having a chance of getting a job in Maastricht soon, but my question is what do I have to do to be entitled to insulin supplyment considering I will be paying taxes. Can anyone clearify me regarding that considering I'm not finding any information in the internet? Many thanks, Nuno

When you register in Holland, you'll be given a BSN number, with which, you can register at the doctor and get health insurance; insulin is covered by the basic package which you'll have to pay for; Medical insurance is legally required in Holland.

Just to add, this link will take you to the Dutch Government website that explains medicine costs.
