Insurance reimbursement and costs of care
I have contracts with the following insurance companies: ASR/Ditzo, Caresq/EU Care/Aevitae, CZ/OHRA/NN group, DSW/Stad Holland/and RMA/RMO for refugees, Menzis group, ONVZ, Salland/ENO, Zilveren Kruis group, and Zorg en Zekerheid/OMW. (I don't have a contract with VGZ because I missed their application deadline.)
The costs of mental health care are determined by the insurance companies based on percentages of the Nationale Zorg Authoriteit (NZa) prices or their own tables.
The yearly deductible (eigen risico) for your health insurance begins anew each calendar year. You pay that to your insurance company.
Intakes can cost more than treatment sessions, and they also fall under the yearly deductible (eigen risico).
Most psychological disorders are reimbursed by insurance companies, but some are not. Couples therapy and treatment of adjustment disorders, for example, are not covered. Most of the treatment methods are covered under insurance, and some are not. We will discuss that together when you make contact with me and when we make a treatment plan.
Note: A referral from your doctor or their psychology practice assistant (POH) is required for insurance reimbursement. A referral by a psychiatrist or other psychologist is sometimes made. The doctor's referral must have the referring professional's personal or practice AGB code on it to be valid. The date of the referral must not be older than 6 months before you come for the first intake.
Privacy: What we discuss is confidential. However, since 2014, the insurance companies want to know your diagnosis. If you object to that, there is a form to be filled in to have it not shared with them. There is always the possibility of paying for the treatment yourself.
My fee varies from NZa tariff depending on the contract I have with your health insurance. In the case of financial hardship by a SELF-PAYER, I will lower the fee to something more affordable within a reasonable limit.
No-shows and appointments not canceled 24 hours ahead of time will be charged to you in the amount of 75 euros. Insurance does not reimburse no-shows or cancellations made on the same day. If you are not feeling well on the same day, please let me know asap. In that case, you will not be charged the cancellation fee. Bills not paid will be turned over to a collection agency.
