Health assistance benefits - payment of contributions for voluntary health insurance Care

If family insurance is not possible for a foster child and there is no compulsory insurance, the youth welfare office can pay appropriate contributions for voluntary health insurance.

Foster children must have health insurance. If there is no other health insurance cover for a foster child, the youth welfare office can pay appropriate contributions for voluntary health insurance.

Switching to voluntary health insurance depends on deadlines, which the responsible health insurance company can advise on.
