To prevent scams, you can only apply for your healthcare allowance via the official website of the Tax Authorities.

When should I change or cancel my healthcare allowance?
The allowance you receive is not a gift but an advance. At the end of each year, it is checked whether you have not received too much. If that is the case, you must (partially) repay your health insurance allowance. If your income changes because you get a new job or pay rise, then your health insurance allowance will also change. Then also timely report your changes via the Tax Information Line (0800-0543) or report your new income online. 

NOTE: The Tax Authorities can use this information to change your health care allowance or to stop it on time.
