Insurance and fees
How physiotherapy works in the Netherlands: what you need, what your insurance covers and what it costs.
No referral needed
You can come to us directly, without a referral from your GP. At your first appointment we briefly check whether physiotherapy is the right choice for your complaint, or whether it is better to see your GP first. If you do have a referral letter, please bring it.
What to bring to your first appointment
- A valid ID (passport, ID card or residence permit)
- Your citizen service number (BSN) and health insurance details
- A referral letter from your GP or specialist, if you have one
- Comfortable clothing, so we can examine you properly
Is it covered by my insurance?
We have contracts with all Dutch health insurers and bill them directly, so you do not have to pay in advance for covered treatments.
Adults (18 and over): physiotherapy, manual therapy and psychosomatic physiotherapy are mainly covered by your supplementary insurance (aanvullende verzekering). How many sessions are covered depends on your policy. The basic insurance (basisverzekering) only covers physiotherapy in specific situations, for example for some chronic conditions from the 21st session onwards, and for hip or knee osteoarthritis (the first 12 sessions). For treatment covered by the basic insurance, your deductible (eigen risico) applies.
Children and young people under 18: the first 9 sessions are covered by the basic insurance, with up to 9 more if needed. There is no deductible for children.
Not insured, or insured abroad? Then you pay the fees below yourself. If you have a foreign or private (student) insurance, please let us know when you book. Not sure what your policy covers? Check your policy conditions or contact your insurer.
