Monday in Radar: Cooking is more dangerous than you think and exorbitant compensation policies

From the health risks of cooking to compensation for extortionate policy victims: in the Radarbroadcast of December 4, we will once again pay attention to various topics. In this article we tell you what else you can expect.

Cooking is more dangerous than you think

Big discussions about nitrogen in nature, but what is the situation in your home? How do you keep the nitrogen and particulate matter levels low? A problem that is underestimated by many people, but which can certainly lead to health damage. Two in five Dutch people suffer from an incorrect indoor climate, research shows. While on average we spend 90 percent of our time indoors. The biggest culprit? The stove. How that works and other tips for a better climate in your home. You’ll see it in Radar on Monday.

What does ASR’s compensation mean for all extortionate policy victims?

After years of legal battle, insurer ASR has announced that it will make 300 million euros available to compensate customers with extortionate policies. This applies to both ASR and Aegon customers, which was recently acquired by ASR. This puts an end to all ongoing proceedings against ASR. Other insurers, such as Nationale Nederlanden, still have cases going on. What does this move by ASR mean for these matters? The Consumers’ Association responds in the studio.

The work of a malpractice surgeon

A former dental surgeon bombards at least a hundred old customers with dubious invoices. Although the invoices date from 2019 and are missing important data, the former oral surgeon threatens collection agencies if customers do not pay. And while he himself owes tons of money to health insurers that he has defrauded with declarations. For example, he declared polyp treatment remarkably often: 1000 times more often than the national average. Who is this man and why does he act this way? Fons goes looking for him.

And Fons investigates the sense or nonsense of fat burners that are heavily advertised on Instagram, for example.

Uncertainty about waiting time for additional orthodontic insurance

Suppose you have additional insurance for orthodontics, but want even higher coverage because the costs for the braces are higher than you thought. Higher coverage at a higher premium from the same insurer is possible. However, it has not become clear to you that you have to pay the higher premium for an extra year, without being able to claim the costs for the brace in that year. That’s called redundancy pay. Not every insurer is equally clear about this. Are they going to adjust the information provided about this?
