De Velse GGZ

What De Velse GGZ does

De Velse GGZ is a small Dutch specialist mental healthcare institution (Specialistische GGZ, or S-GGZ) headquartered at Zadelmakerstraat 28 in Velserbroek, serving adults aged 18-70 with complex psychiatric conditions including ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and personality disorders. The organization operates a multidisciplinary team — two psychiatrists, a GZ-psycholoog/psychotherapeut, a psychotherapist, psychologists, orthopedagogues, a HAIO, secretaries, and a practice manager — applying a biopsychosocial treatment model that combines pharmacotherapy with evidence-based psychotherapies such as CBT, EMDR, schema therapy, ACT, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Diagnostic capability is anchored by the TOVA (Test of Variables of Attention) for objective ADHD screening and medication-effect monitoring, supplemented by Routine Outcome Monitoring via the SQ-48 and CQ-i instruments (yielding patient satisfaction ratings of 8.4-8.8 over six consecutive years). Operational technology is delivered entirely through third-party providers: the Zilos electronic patient dossier and Embloom video/ROM platform, both NEN 7150-compliant, with secure communications via Zorgmail.

The business model is fully integrated into the Dutch regulated healthcare system. De Velse GGZ bills contracted health insurers (DSW, Zilveren Kruis, Menzis, ASR, VGZ, CZ for 2026) at NZA WMG-mandated tariffs under the ZorgPrestatiemodel, with patients covering only the €385 mandatory own-risk deductible. Non-contracted insurer patients self-pay and claim reimbursement (covering only 50-75% of the tariff), and uninsured self-pay patients are charged €98 per ~50-minute session. The go-to-market is referral-driven rather than commercial: a GP referral letter is required for enrollment, with intake channeled through a regional GP/POH-GGZ network in Midden- en Zuid-Kennemerland, supplemented by an online registration form and direct secretariat contact. The organization carries HKZ Kleine Organisaties-Keurmerk certification (since May 2017), is CIBG-recognized, and complies with WGBO, AVG/GDPR, and Wkkgz requirements.

Revenue model

1. Specialistische GGZ (S-GGZ) Health Insurance Reimbursement: De Velse GGZ provides specialist mental health care (S-GGZ) billed through the Dutch health insurance system. Treatment costs are reimbursed from the basic health insurance package (basisverzekering). The organization invoices according to NZA WMG-tarieven (government-mandated rates). For contracted insurers, the insurer pays directly; for non-contracted insurers, the patient receives the invoice and claims reimbursement. Since 2022, the ZorgPrestatiemodel (care performance model) replaced the DBC system. Revenue is entirely dependent on health insurance reimbursements and patient co-pays (own risk deductible of €385 for 2025-2026).
