More people falling behind on health insurance payments, says ABN Amro

More people are struggling to pay for their health insurance. “The first signs of problematic debts caused by inflation are now becoming visible,” ABN Amro economist Piet Rietman said to the newspaper. Economists consider payment arrears with health insurers as the writing on the wall because the health insurance bill is often the first that goes unpaid. Health insurance is somewhat abstract, and these debt arrears could appear to have fewer consequences than, for example, not paying your rent. Health insurers CZ, Menzis, and Zilveren Kruis, have not seen a significant increase in cases handed over for debt collection, but CZ did note a “worrying increase” in requests for payment arrangements.
