private medical/health insurance plans
I don't think there is an English equivalent for 'variaverzekering'. I would translate this as 'private medical/health insurance plans', where the plural already indicates that are a number of possible varieties.
Medical risk insurance is not a common term in US English but may be more common in Europe.

miscellaneous medical risk insurance
Just a suggestion. No googles for this as such, but 'miscellaneous risk management' and 'miscellaneous risk insurance' do generate a few hits. Woordenboek Verzekeringsbedrijf [Vermeij/Kluwer], by the way, renders 'varia verzekeringen' as 'other accident, miscellaneous lines'. I don't think that would be applicable here, however.
