Municipalities contract YOEP Jeugd & Gezin (AGB-code 22220684) to provide youth assistance, youth protection, and basic/specialist GGZ. The entity Groei & Glunder in North Holland is contracted through Stichting JA Amsterdam (AGB-code 98102431).
2. Health Insurance-funded Adult Mental Health (GGZ): Adult mental health services (18+) are reimbursed through Dutch health insurers under the Zorgverzekeringswet. YOEP Volwassenen GGZ operates under AGB-code 22220710, covering both mono- and multidisciplinary GGZ (BGGZ and SGGZ). Since January 2025, YOEP's adult care was bundled with De Praktische GGZ and PHHaastrecht under a shared AGB-code.
3. Online Poli (Online Outpatient) - BGGZ: Online outpatient treatment is reimbursed as part of the basic health insurance package (BGGZ). The Online Poli serves adults with mild to moderate complaints (anxiety, stress, depression) who do not require intensive on-location treatment.
