What WPEX BV does

WPEX B.V. is a Dutch independent medical specialist expertise bureau founded in 2000 and headquartered in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. The company delivers multidisciplinary medical and psychological assessments for cases involving illness, disability, work capacity, and legal disputes, serving enterprise and government buyers rather than individual consumers. Its core service portfolio spans mono-specialist expertises in psychiatry, neurology, insurance medicine, orthopedics, cardiology, rheumatology, and pulmonology; a psychological investigations suite covering neuropsychological examination, personality assessment, autism (ASS) and ADHD diagnostics, intelligence testing (WAIS-IV-NL/WISC-V), and mental workload assessment; and a distinctive combined-expertise offering in which specialists from multiple disciplines jointly examine a client in a single session and issue a unified report. All examinations are conducted by experienced, BIG-registered specialists and follow NVMSR guidelines and the relevant specialty association standards.

Operationally, WPEX runs an intake function through a medical secretariat reachable by phone, email, and online request forms, and delivers services across a nationwide network spanning 15+ Dutch cities via owned locations (Amersfoort, Eindhoven) and flex-office partners (Regus, Spaces) in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen, Maastricht, Nijmegen, and others, with video calling and home visits supplementing in-person examinations. Reports are delivered to business clients — primarily disability insurers, UWV, occupational physicians, courts, legal expense insurers, and attorneys — who cover the costs; WPEX is not affiliated with Dutch health insurers and individual patients do not receive insurance reimbursement. Through WPEX Academy, launched in 2020, the company also sells accredited continuing-education webinars to occupational physicians, insurance physicians, medical advisors, and occupational health nurses at €115 per session or €410 for a four-webinar series.

Commercially, WPEX is privately held, operates as a subsidiary within the Dedimo portfolio of healthcare initiatives (which also includes ADHDcentraal), holds ISO 9001:2015 quality and NEN7510-1:2017+A1:2020 healthcare information security certifications from Kiwa, and reports no external funding. Pricing for medical examinations is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual indexation tied to the CAO-Ionen index, while WPEX Academy pricing is publicly listed. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff and is led by an executive team including an Operational Director, a Director of Medical Affairs (GZ-psychologist), and a Director of Market and Relations, with the founder serving as Psychiatrist and Advisor.

Broad incumbents

• Arbo Unie: One of the largest Dutch occupational health service providers, offering medical assessments, sick leave guidance, and workplace health services to employers. Comparable to WPEX in serving B2B employer and insurer customers with physician-delivered assessments, though Arbo Unie operates at much broader scale and includes primary occupational health services alongside expertise work.
• HumanCapitalCare: Major Dutch occupational health and reintegration provider serving employers, insurers, and government bodies. Comparable to WPEX in providing physician-based medical assessments for Dutch disability and return-to-work cases, though HumanCapitalCare operates across the full occupational health value chain rather than specializing in independent expertises.
• Zorg van de Zaak: Large Dutch occupational health and medical assessment provider serving employers and government. Comparable to WPEX in delivering physician-led medical assessments for disability and return-to-work claims, with overlapping customer base of bedrijfsartsen, UWV referrals, and insurers. Broader portfolio than WPEX's pure expertise focus.
• Maetis: Dutch occupational health and reintegration services provider. Comparable to WPEX in providing independent medical assessments and expertise for disability claims and workplace reintegration, but operates more broadly in occupational health services rather than as a specialist expertise bureau.
• Achmea: One of the largest Dutch insurance groups, operating disability insurance (arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekeraar) and health insurance. Comparable to WPEX because Achmea is both a customer (commissioning medical expertises) and a competitor (in-house medical assessment teams). Vertically integrated insurance with its own medical advisory services.

Direct peers

• GENEX Services: US-based independent medical evaluation (IME) and case management provider serving insurance carriers, employers, and attorneys. Highly comparable to WPEX in business model: independent physician-led medical assessments for disability, liability, and workers' comp claims, with multidisciplinary expertise and turnaround-time commitments. International analogue of WPEX's expertise bureau model.
• ExamWorks: US-based provider of independent medical examinations, peer reviews, and medical record reviews for insurance, legal, and government clients. Closest international parallel to WPEX: specialist physicians deliver objective assessments used in disability, liability, and workers' compensation disputes. Same target customer profile (insurers, attorneys, government) and same service delivery model.

Emerging players

• Medicover: International healthcare and diagnostics services provider operating across Europe with medical assessment, diagnostic, and occupational health services. Comparable to WPEX in providing specialist medical assessments and using multidisciplinary diagnosis, though Medicover's scope is broader and includes primary care delivery in multiple European markets.

Others

• UWV: Dutch Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen) that administers Dutch social security and disability benefits. WPEX's largest customer segment; UWV also conducts its own medical assessments in-house. They are simultaneously a major buyer and a potential competitor if WPEX-style expertises are insourced.
• Kiwa: International certification body that issues WPEX's ISO 9001:2015 quality and NEN7510-1 information security certifications. Adjacent ecosystem participant: Kiwa's certifications are central to WPEX's procurement eligibility with insurers and government. Not a competitor but a key enablement partner in selling to regulated Dutch healthcare buyers.
