Huisartsenpraktijk Stationsstraat

What Huisartsenpraktijk Stationsstraat does

Huisartsenpraktijk Stationsstraat is a privately-owned Dutch general practitioner (huisarts) practice located at Stationsstraat 6A in Hoogeveen, Drenthe, serving the local community as a primary point of access to healthcare. The practice is led by Dr. Martine Ploeg as practice holder (praktijkhouder), with Dr. Patricia Pekel joining as a permanent GP in March 2024. The team comprises roughly 12 staff including two GPs, two praktijkondersteuners (one for somatic care and one for GGZ/mental health), six doktersassistentes under a lead assistant, and a practice manager. Core service delivery spans in-person consultations, telephone consultations, daily home visits, e-consults, repeat prescription ordering, STI testing, and coordination of national preventive screening programs (cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer). Technology infrastructure is built entirely on third-party healthcare IT — PharmaPartners for the HIS/EHR, the MijnGezondheid.net patient portal and MedGemak mobile app for patient-facing services, and the Landelijk Schakelpunt (LSP) for national health data exchange — with authentication via the Dutch national DigiD identity system.

The business model operates inside the regulated Dutch primary care framework. Standard GP care is covered under the basispakket of Dutch basic health insurance with no patient co-payment, and the practice is reimbursed via a mix of capitation and fee-for-service payments from health insurers. The only direct-to-patient charge is a €25 no-show fee for missed appointments without 24 hours' notice, explicitly not covered by insurance. The practice is NPA-accredited (NHG-Praktijkaccreditering), meeting quality standards set by the Nederlands Huisartsen Genootschap, and is recognized as an opleidingspraktijk by Alfa College for training medical assistants. Distribution is community-led: patients register directly with the practice via an enrollment form, with no external sales or marketing apparatus beyond a website (hpst.nl), Facebook and Instagram accounts, and referrals to national health information platforms such as Thuisarts.nl and Apotheek.nl. After-hours urgent care is handled via the Dokter Drenthe regional huisartsenspoedpost.

Customer segments are defined along geographic (residents of Hoogeveen and surrounding areas in Drenthe) and care-need lines (general adult and pediatric care, chronic disease management through the somatic praktijkondersteuner, mental health support through the GGZ praktijkondersteuner, elderly care via a dedicated assistente ouderenzorg, and palliative care). The practice does not participate in venture or private equity funding, has no parent company, and operates as an independent professional partnership under Dutch GP ownership conventions.
