Huisartsen Wijk en Aalburg

What Huisartsen Wijk en Aalburg does

Huisartsen Wijk en Aalburg is a Dutch general practice operating from two locations — the main site at Perzikstraat 14D in Wijk en Aalburg and a branch (dependance) at Hoek 41 in Eethen — within Gezondheidscentrum d'Alburcht in North Brabant, Netherlands. The practice serves the residents of the former Gemeente Aalburg (now part of Municipality of Altena) with a multi-disciplinary clinical team of approximately six general practitioners, two nurse practitioners, practice support staff for chronic disease (POH-Somatiek) and mental health (POH-GGZ), doctor assistants, and administrative staff, supplemented by an annual GP trainee from Radboud University Nijmegen. Service offerings span standard GP consultations, home visits, telephone and video consultations, cardiovascular risk management, chronic disease management, ECG, spirometry, minor surgical procedures, vasectomy, IUD/Implanon placement, in-house hospital-grade echocardiography, youth consults, elderly care coordination, and facilitation of national cancer screening programmes.

The practice's technology stack relies on standard Dutch primary care infrastructure: clinical information systems connected to the Landelijk Schakelpunt (LSP) for cross-provider data exchange, the MijnGezondheid.net patient portal with DigiD authentication, the MedGemak mobile app, ZorgDomein for digital referrals, and Volgjezorg for LSP consent management. Patient access channels include in-person visits, home visits, telephone triage with callback requests, video consultations, and 24/7 digital self-service for appointment booking, e-consult messaging, repeat prescriptions, and lab result viewing.

The revenue model is structurally insurance-funded: all standard GP consultations, home visits, telephone consults, and e-consults are fully reimbursed under the Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering) with no patient copay or deductible, billed directly by the practice to health insurers. Supplementary revenue streams include no-show fees (€15 single / €30 double consultation), shingles vaccination (~€450 for two-dose course, mostly out-of-pocket), fees for non-insured passanten (€30-50 per consultation), and published NZa tariffs for uninsured or conscientious objector patients. The practice is NHG-Praktijkaccreditering certified, participates in the Jeroen Bosch Huisartsen (JBH) regional care group for chronic disease programs, and operates as an independent physician-owned entity.

Revenue model

1. Standard GP consultations (basisverzekering): All standard GP consultations, telephone consultations, and home visits are fully covered by the Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering). No copay or deductible is charged to the patient for GP services. The practice bills the health insurer directly. This covers the vast majority of the practice's activities including preventive care, chronic disease management, and referrals.
2. Supplementary services and materials: Some services not covered by basic insurance may be charged to patients directly, such as certain travel vaccinations (referral to GGD), medical certificates not covered by insurance (e.g., travel cancellation), and services for uninsured patients. The practice publishes fee schedules for uninsured and conscientious objector patients. Shingles vaccination is not reimbursed for most patients (~€450 for two doses).
3. No-show fees: Patients who miss appointments without notice are charged a no-show fee: €15 for a single consultation, €30 for a double consultation. These fees are not reimbursed by health insurers.
