Thursday July 4
That was quite a surprise. I received my health insurance card last week and was listed with my married name. This felt very awkward since I only used my maiden name for the past 8 years. How did the insurance company find out my married name I wondered? When I enrolled I did not fill out that name in any of the boxes.
I examined the insurance papers and it struck me. In the Netherlands you get assigned a Citizens Service Number. I had to fill out that number in one of the boxes so that's how the insurance company could check my information. I was still registered as married at the time of enrollment. I contacted the insurance company but as long as my personal information is not updated in the national registry I can't get an insurance card with my maiden name.
Yesterday I heard my file is updated so now I hope to get a new insurance card with my maiden name on it pretty soon.
