About costs and reimbursement
In the Netherlands, the treatment is fully or largely reimbursed by the health insurance. For people from other countries this is usually not the case.
Costs and compensation
All Dutch health insurers reimburse the treatment in whole or in part. Look in your policy information under 'non-contracted Basis-GGZ'.
The website 'The contract-free psychologist' has made an overview of all health insurers and the percentage that they reimburse. You cannot derive any rights from this overview, but it does give an indication of the costs that you can expect.
Cost indication
From 2022, psychologists in the Netherlands need to work with hourly rates. This means that it is impossible to predict exactly in advance what a treatment will cost. The following costs can be used as an indication:
-
Basic treatment € 850 - 950
At our location; an intake, a treatment session, a test; no additional costs.
Sometimes the costs are higher, for example if we have to go to an external location for the treatment, if it costs us a lot of time or money to prepare the treatment, or if you want an extra treatment session (this applies to 10 – 15% of our customers):
-
Travel time (per appointment) € 80
-
Special preparation € 75 - 150
-
Extra treatment session € 300
The rates apply regardless of the result of the treatment. To receive reimbursement from your insurance company, you might need a referral from your doctor. Without a referral, or if you have a foreign insurance policy, you will pay the tariffs for uninsured care.
Find out more
Contact your insurance company to find out more about possible reimbursement of the costs.
In most countries, you can change this until December 31.
Good to know
Any additional costs
For some treatments there are external costs to make, for example in case of fear in the car. We always discuss this in advance.
Obligatory deductible excess
In the Netherlands, everybody aged XNUMX or over has a compulsory deductible for healthcare provided under their general insurance policy. This means you pay the first €XNUMX of any healthcare costs yourself.
How does the invoice process work?
No show
If you unexpectedly do not show up for an appointment, we will charge 1 hour at €124,74.
