Provico, ggz netwerkorganisatie in Noord-Limburg

What Provico, ggz netwerkorganisatie in Noord-Limburg does

Provico BV is a Dutch non-profit network organization founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sevenum, Netherlands, that coordinates mental healthcare (ggz) within general practice across Noord- and Midden-Limburg. Its core function is to act as the connective layer between GP practices, practice supporters for mental health (POH-GGZ), basic and specialist mental health providers (b-ggz and s-ggz), intellectual disability care, and the social domain, so that patients with psychological or other care questions are routed to the right place quickly. The organization is one of four 'cartrekkers' (lead organizations) of the IZA-backed Mentaal Gezondheidsnetwerk for the region alongside Vincent van Gogh, Meditta, and MET ggz, and is owned by three shareholders: (Pro) Praktijksteun, Vincent van Gogh, and Cohesie. Operations are run by a lean team of approximately 14 people.

The technology foundation consists of two principal components. The Netwerk Informatie Systeem (NIS) is a secure information system that enables GPs, POH-GGZ, and consultation partners from b-ggz and s-ggz to share patient information and collaborate on treatment without requiring patients to retell their story. The Evie e-health platform, powered by Minddistrict, offers two modes of access: anonymous online self-help modules (free for all Noord-Limburg residents since February 2023) and guided treatment modules delivered through a GP or POH-GGZ referral. Provico also operates Verwijssteun (formerly Verwijsbureau WIJS), a referral advice bureau for routing between b-ggz, s-ggz, the social domain, and alternative pathways, plus exploratory conversations (verkennende gesprekken), prevention courses (Mentaal in Balans, Beter Slapen, Mindfulness, Sociale Vaardigheden, Stress de Baas), and deployment of experts by experience in partnership with Stichting Zelfregie.

Provico's revenue model is built on per-patient quarterly fees declared on behalf of affiliated GP practices under contracts with health insurers VGZ and CZ. The published fee schedule is €5.41 per quarter per registered patient for POH-GGZ deployment and €3.12 per quarter per registered patient for an innovative POH-GGZ module, both falling under GP care and outside the patient's own-risk deductible. Customer segments are GP practices and POH-GGZ (primary), residents of Noord- and Midden-Limburg with mental health questions, people with mental vulnerabilities and their environment, and the 13 municipalities in the region. Services are delivered via the GP practice network, the NIS, and the Evie self-serve platform. The organization is privately held with no public listing, no external funding rounds disclosed, and operations funded through the insurer agreements.
