Duty of information health insurance

The Verwilghen Act

The Verwilghen Act requires every employer to inform its participating employees about the options available upon the loss of the right to participate in the group medical insurance (hospitalisation and/or disability insurance).

Within the scope of this obligation to inform, Vanbreda Risk & Benefits would like to assist you by placing some documents at your disposal.

The law contains no concrete provisions specifying how you, as an employer, must provide these information documents to your employees. Vanbreda Risk & Benefits gives you a free choice.

If you want to avoid any discussion in the event of subsequent disputes by the employee, we recommend using the complete information document. Otherwise, you can only provide your employees with the first page.
