Cancel Zilveren Kruis: Easy Method

What is Zilveren Kruis

Overview

Zilveren Kruis is a Dutch health insurer that provides basic and supplementary health insurance and digital tools to manage claims and cards.

The insurer operates primarily in the Netherlands; its mobile app is a free portal for policy management, not a paid subscription.

Role and services

Zilveren Kruis handles policy administration, reimbursements and customer support for its insured members.

Its online services include Mijn Zilveren Kruis (customer portal), an app for claims and cards, and phone and postal contact options.

How to cancel Zilveren Kruis

Primary cancellation channels

  • Mijn Zilveren Kruis (online account) - recommended for speed and confirmation.
  • By letter - send a signed cancellation to the insurer’s postal address (see Address section).
  • By phone - contact customer service to request cancellation; follow up in writing if required.

Timing, deadlines and mid‑year reasons

  • Basic insurance: cancellation must be received by 31 December to take effect 1 January.
  • Supplementary insurance: cancel by 31 January for changes effective the next year.
  • Mid‑year cancellation is possible for specific reasons (moving abroad, death, change of employer, policy term changes, etc.). See the insurer’s terms for qualifying reasons: terms and conditions.
  • You cannot cancel insurance via the App Store/Google Play because the app is a free portal: Zilveren Kruis app (NZ App Store).

What happens when you cancel

Coverage and access

Your coverage ends on the cancellation date specified or when the insurer confirms termination according to the applicable deadline.

If you cancel at year end, coverage typically continues until 31 December, unless you specify a different effective date allowed by rules.

Records, renewals and communications

Zilveren Kruis will keep administrative records of your policy and cancellation for regulatory and accounting purposes.

Always obtain written confirmation (email or letter) of the cancellation and keep it with your records for proof of termination.

Will I get a refund?

14‑day right of withdrawal

If you newly took a basic insurance policy, Zilveren Kruis allows a 14‑day withdrawal (herroepingsrecht) after receiving your policy sheet.

  • Use Mijn Zilveren Kruis, a written letter, or phone to withdraw.
  • You will receive a refund of premiums paid, but any reimbursed healthcare costs must be repaid to the insurer.
  • See the insurer’s terms for details: terms and conditions.

Refunds on early cancellation

If you cancel mid‑year for permitted reasons (e.g., moving abroad, employer change, policy changes), premiums or excess amounts may be proportionally refunded.

  • Refund amounts depend on timing and whether claims were already reimbursed by the insurer.
  • Contact customer service to request calculation and timing of any refund: mid‑year cancellation info.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Key laws and protections

In New Zealand, general consumer protections include the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act for goods and services.

These laws cover misleading conduct and basic guarantees of service quality, but financial and insurance disputes may have specific pathways.

Complaint and dispute options

If you need to escalate a complaint from New Zealand, consider contacting New Zealand regulators such as the Financial Markets Authority for guidance.

Also check whether your insurer participates in an external dispute resolution scheme; confirm the scheme and procedure with Zilveren Kruis when lodging a complaint.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers report responsive customer support and convenient digital tools for tracking costs and claims.

Several reviews note smooth service and reliable coverage in recent consumer review sites.

Negative feedback

Public reviews also report issues such as reimbursement delays, claim refusals, and difficulties cancelling in some cases.

Common complaints include unclear communications, unexpected charges after switching, and trouble with online cancellation buttons.

Documentation checklist

Required documents

  • Policy number and full name of the insured person.
  • Signed written cancellation or confirmation via Mijn Zilveren Kruis.
  • Reason for cancellation (if cancelling mid‑year for a qualifying reason).

Optional supporting documents

  • Proof for mid‑year reasons (e.g., relocation evidence, new employer details, death certificate if applicable).
  • Bank details for refund (IBAN/BIC) and a copy of ID if requested for verification.
  • Keep copies of correspondence and the insurer’s cancellation confirmation.

Common mistakes

Timing errors

Missing the 31 December deadline for basic insurance is a frequent mistake that delays termination until the following year.

Similarly, failing to cancel supplementary cover by 31 January can result in an unwanted renewal for the year.

Wrong channel and incomplete information

Trying to cancel via the App Store/Google Play or assuming the app cancels coverage leads to confusion - the app is a free management tool only.

Not providing policy number, signature, or required evidence for mid‑year reasons can delay processing or lead to rejection.
