Practical information
Treatment rates
The practice currently has no contracts with health insurers. This means that the costs for the treatment must be paid by yourself. Depending on which health insurer you are insured with and your insurance policy, a percentage of the costs per session will be reimbursed after you declare the invoice with them. I use the rates as determined by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa).

Quality statute
As of January 1, 2017, all providers of 'medical mental health care'—that is, generalist basic mental health care and specialized mental health care within the framework of the Health Insurance Act—are required to make a quality statute publicly available. This concerns an approved quality statute.
