What Neuroscan does

NeuroScan is a specialist mental health care (GGZ) practice headquartered at Singel 123, 3311 PC Dordrecht, Netherlands, founded in 2009 and privately operated under KVK registration 24467515. The practice delivers diagnostic and therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and (young) adults with psychiatric vulnerabilities including ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, psychosis, and systemic family problems. Service modalities include psychodiagnostic assessment, psychotherapy (CBT, EMDR, NET, schema therapy, ACT, systemic therapy, emotion regulation), pharmacotherapy, parent guidance, group therapy, and home-based treatment, with a blended-care extension via the third-party Therapieland e-health platform. The clinical team comprises roughly 30+ multidisciplinary staff including child and youth psychiatrists, GZ-psychologists, psychotherapists, system therapists, orthopedagogues, and psychiatric nurses, led by bestuurders Monica Verlinde and Annerieke Luijendijk with Sander Donkers as Directeur bedrijfsvoering.

The business model is fully reimbursed rather than consumer-paid: adults (18+) are covered by contracted Dutch health insurers (VGZ, Achmea/ZK, ASR, DSW, ONVZ/Caresq, CZ, Zorg en Zekerheid) under the NZA Zorgprestatiemodel with patients paying only the mandatory €385 deductible, while youth under 18 are fully funded by municipalities under the woonplaatsbeginsel, with NeuroScan contracted by 10 municipalities in Zuid-Holland Zuid. All patients require GP or municipal youth-team referrals; there is no self-referral pathway. The practice holds HKZ certification (ISO-9001 aligned) and an NZA-approved kwaliteitsstatuut, with documented GDPR/AVG compliance.

Operationally, NeuroScan runs from a single physical location in Dordrecht supplemented by home visits and digital sessions, with current adult waiting times of 16–26 weeks depending on insurer (Menzis at intake stop) and youth waiting times of 16 weeks from referral to intake and a further 17 weeks to treatment start. The firm shows no external investment, parent company, or acquisition activity, consistent with a founder/management-owned independent practice.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Reimbursement (Adults 18+): NeuroScan has contracts with major Dutch health insurers (VGZ, Achmea/ZK, ASR, DSW, ONVZ/Caresq, CZ, Zorg en Zekerheid). Insured adults pay the mandatory deductible (€385) and the insurer covers treatment costs. Patients without contracted insurers receive monthly invoices to submit to their insurer. Billing follows the NZA Zorgprestatiemodel (care performance model) introduced in 2022, based on a 'planning is realisatie' (planned equals realized) principle.
2. Municipal Youth Care Funding (Under 18): For patients under 18, diagnostics and treatment are fully covered by the municipality under the 'woonplaatsbeginsel' (residence principle). NeuroScan is a contracted care provider for 10 municipalities in Zuid-Holland Zuid: Alblasserdam, Dordrecht, Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Hoeksche Waard, Molenlanden, Papendrecht, Sliedrecht, and Zwijndrecht.

Others

• Therapieland: Therapieland is a leading Dutch e-health platform used by GGZ practices to deliver blended care, including the digital modules and video tools NeuroScan integrates. Comparable only as a technology/enablement partner rather than a competitor, but relevant as the infrastructure underlying NeuroScan's blended-care offering.
• Reinier van Arkel: Reinier van Arkel is a Dutch specialist GGZ provider serving the 's-Hertogenbosch region offering diagnostic and treatment services for severe and complex psychiatric conditions. Comparable multidisciplinary service model to NeuroScan but at regional institutional scale rather than single-practice scale.

Emerging players

• OpenUp: OpenUp is a Dutch-founded digital mental health platform providing online therapy and coaching sessions, often via employer benefits. Competes with NeuroScan for the mild-to-moderate adult mental health segment with a fully digital, self-referral-enabled model.
• Mindler: Mindler is a digital mental health provider operating in the Netherlands offering online psychological treatment with self-referral. Targets the same patient population as NeuroScan's adult anxiety/depression services but competes on access speed rather than clinical depth.
• iPractice: iPractice is a Dutch online GGZ practice offering psychology and psychiatry treatment via video and chat, accepting self-referrals. Competes with NeuroScan for adult GGZ demand but bypasses the GP-referral requirement, representing the digital-first threat to traditional referral-led practices.

Broad incumbents

• Lentis: Lentis is a Dutch specialist GGZ provider serving the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe, and Overijssel with inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. Comparable clinical modalities (psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, diagnostics) to NeuroScan at regional multi-site scale.
• PsyQ: PsyQ is the outpatient specialist GGZ arm of Parnassia Groep, operating numerous locations across the Netherlands delivering psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and diagnostics for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and personality disorders. Directly comparable service portfolio to NeuroScan, but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Parnassia Groep: Parnassia Groep is the largest Dutch mental health and addiction care provider, operating multiple brands including PsyQ across the Netherlands. Represents the dominant incumbent consolidator in the Dutch GGZ market and the most likely strategic acquirer profile for a practice like NeuroScan.
• GGZ inGeest: GGZ inGeest is a major Dutch specialist GGZ provider (part of Amsterdam UMC / GGZ Noord-Holland-Noord) offering diagnostic and treatment services for mood, anxiety, psychotic, and personality disorders. Comparable clinical scope to NeuroScan at significantly larger institutional scale.
• Dimence: Dimence is a Dutch specialist GGZ provider operating across Overijssel and surrounding regions, offering diagnostics, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy for adults and youth. Comparable multidisciplinary GGZ service mix to NeuroScan at significantly larger organizational scale.
