What vera medical center does

Vera Medical Center B.V. is an independent outpatient treatment center (Zelfstandig Behandelcentrum, or ZBC) founded in 2024 and headquartered in Amsterdam's Zeeburgereiland neighborhood, operating from a leased space inside Gezondheidscentrum SAG Sportheldenbuurt. The clinic specializes in planned medical-specialist gynecological care for female patients referred by GPs, midwives, and occupational physicians, with a service portfolio spanning nine condition areas (menstrual complaints, fibroids/myomas, endometriosis, STIs and vaginal infections, hormones and contraception, prolapse and incontinence, fertility/child wish, abnormal Pap smears/vulvar conditions, and menopause) and a corresponding treatment set including transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound, saline and gel infusion sonohysterography (SIS/GIS), HyFoSy foam-sonography for fallopian tube assessment, colposcopy with biopsy, hysteroscopy, LEEP/lisexcisie, and IUD/pessary fitting. Clinical differentiators include IOTA-certified ovarian tumor ultrasound protocols, radiation-free HyFoSy, and newly acquired endometriosis diagnostic equipment.

The business model relies on Dutch DBC (Diagnose Behandel Combinatie) billing at hospital-equivalent rates, with no contracts with health insurers, which the clinic uses as a positioning point to avoid care ceilings and offer shorter wait times. Patients receive the invoice directly, claim reimbursement from their insurer, and pay the clinic; under a "coulanceregeling," the co-payment is waived if patients submit their insurer declaration within 45 days. Revenue also includes no-show fees (€89 first consultation, €59 repeat). GTM is exclusively referral-driven via ZorgDomein and ZorgMail, augmented by an accredited continuing education program for GPs and occupational physicians. Ownership is held by co-founders Dr. Olga Kaufmann (founder-gynecologist) and Mathieu Pasquier (organizational lead), with two additional gynecologists (Dr. Albert Adriaanse, Dr. Margita Sirekova) joining in early 2026 and a medical assistant added in 2025, totaling six staff.

Revenue model

1. Specialist Medical Care - DBC Billing: Healthcare services are billed using DBC (Diagnose Behandel Combinatie) system, same as all Dutch hospitals. Care is covered by basic health insurance when patients have a referral. Patients receive the invoice directly and must claim from their insurer, then pay the clinic the reimbursed amount plus any deductible.
2. Coulance Arrangement: Patient-friendly policy where the clinic waives the co-payment (eigen bijdrage) charged by insurers, as long as patients submit their declaration overview within 45 days and pay on time.
