CAGGB

What CAGGB does

CAGGB, now operating as Synaeda Buitenpost following its legal merger with Synaeda on September 30, 2023, is a non-profit specialist mental health care institution (SGGZ) headquartered in Buitenpost, Friesland, Netherlands. The organization provides specialist outpatient mental health assessment and treatment for children, adolescents, and adults, addressing conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, personality disorders, ADHD, ADD, autism spectrum disorders, emotional regulation problems, and burnout. Services span individual therapy (ACT, EMDR, CBT, schema therapy, psychotherapy, rTMS, light therapy, psychomotor therapy, medication management), group programs (typically 6-8 participants over 8-10 sessions), and online therapy through Synaeda's Digitale Poli.

The organization operates a single physical outpatient clinic in Buitenpost serving patients from across Friesland and Groningen, supported by an electronic patient dossier, a secure patient portal (GGZ Portal) for records access, prescription renewals, and communication, and digital screening questionnaires (BSI, SDQ, OBVL) administered via Telepsy for Routine Outcome Monitoring. Patient referrals flow in through ZorgDomein (from GPs) and ZorgMail (from municipal youth teams). Since January 1, 2020 the organization has been wholly owned by GGZ Friesland, and post-merger the combined entity accesses seven additional Friesland locations plus a topsport-dependence at Papendal.

The revenue model is dual-track and fully regulated: adult care is reimbursed by Dutch health insurers under the Zorgprestatiemodel (with contracts across all zorgverzekeraars), while care for under-18s is funded by the municipality of registration under the Youth Act (Jeugdwet) subject to a prior zorgtoewijzing. The institution holds HKZ quality certification and operates under the Dutch SGGZ institutional recognition framework, with GDPR/AVG and WGBO compliance governing data handling and patient records.

Revenue model

1. Specialist Mental Health Care (SGGZ) for Adults - Health Insurance Funded: Adults aged 18+ receive specialist mental health care funded through the Dutch health insurance system (zorgverzekering). Care falls under the basic health insurance and is subject to the mandatory deductible (eigen risico). As of 2022, reimbursement follows the Zorgprestatiemodel (care performance model), making it transparent which care the insurer paid for.
2. Specialist Mental Health Care for Children and Youth - Municipality Funded: Children and youth under 18 receive care funded by the municipality under the Youth Act (Jeugdwet). A care allocation (zorgtoewijzing/beschikking) from the municipality is required before treatment begins. The municipality of registration is financially responsible (woonplaatsbeginsel).
