Moved to Belgium
You recently moved to Belgium. Be covered by social security! In Belgium, to be covered in the event of a health problem (illness, accident, etc.), you must be registered with a legal health insurance.

You can also register for our cast-iron insurances for hospitalisation, dental care and medical costs.
- Working in Belgium: Send us proof of your current activity (employment contract, declaration of the social insurance fund, …) and register online

Working in Belgium
You work in Belgium, and you officially live in the EU, EEA or Switzerland. In that case, you have to join a Belgian health insurance fund in order to get an S1 or S072 form for the health insurance institution of the country where you live. Each health insurance fund takes care of the reimbursement of the care on its own territory.
This can easily be done digitally.
Helan can provide you with the form S1 or S072.
The Netherlands
Helan forwards the S072 form directly to the Centraal Ziekenfonds (CZ). After this, you need to register yourself and your family members online for the free treaty policy. CZ will then reimburse your Dutch care on their terms and rates.
France
Submit the S1 form to the CPAM of your place of residence. CPAM will let you know which family members you also need to co-insure in Belgium and is responsible for reimbursing care in France.
Germany
Send the S1 form to your Krankenkasse. The Krankenkasse will let you know which family members you should also co-insure in Belgium and is responsible for reimbursing care in Germany.
You can find more information about travelling and working in Europe on the European Commission site.
Working in the EU, EEA or Switzerland
You moved in Belgium but you are still working for a foreign employer. In this case, you have to join a Belgian health insurance fund with the S1 or S072 from the health insurance institution in the country where you work. Thus, you can enjoy reimbursements dor healthcare in Belgium.
This entitles you to the reimbursement of medical care in the country where you work. You can find more information about travelling and working in Europe on the European Commission's site.

- In the Netherlands, join a Dutch health insurer of your choice.
- In France, join a CPAM (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie) in your place of residence.

Your foreign insurance institution can provide you with the S1 form. Apply for it there.
