1. Health Insurance Reimbursement: All treatments are reimbursed through the Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering). The organization has contracts with all Dutch health insurers. Patients need a referral letter from their GP plus insurance details, BSN, and valid ID. Costs are reconciled with the statutory deductible excess.
2. Healthcare Performance Model (Zorg Prestatie Model): Since 2022, treatment prices are billed per appointment under the Healthcare Performance Model (ZPM). The Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZA) determines costs per performance annually. Contracts with health insurers specify a percentage of NZA rates.
