Achmea reserves € 400 million to limit the increase in healthcare premiums in 2027

Zeist – Achmea is allocating approximately € 400 million to limit the increase in the basic healthcare premium for 2027. This contributes to the affordability of healthcare premiums for more than 5 million customers of Zilveren Kruis, De Friesland, Interpolis, FBTO, and De christelijke zorgverzekeraar. 

These five Achmea brands announced their healthcare premiums for 2027 yesterday, Thursday 12th November. The healthcare premiums will increase again due to rising healthcare costs. One of the reasons for this is that people are using healthcare services more frequently and for longer periods. However, the premium increase is substantially mitigated by the allocation of approximately € 400 million. 

In line with its cooperative identity, Achmea seeks a responsible balance between an affordable healthcare premium for customers and a sound financial position for the company. The stated amount of € 400 million will be recognised in the 2026 financial year, in accordance with the IFRS 17 reporting standards.
