Understanding Your Mental Health Care Costs 

​

At our practice, we aim to make your care experience as smooth as possible, including how your treatment is billed and reimbursed. Mental health care in the Netherlands has been funded under the Care Performance Model (ZPM). This system allows for smaller, manageable billing on a weekly or monthly basis instead of one large invoice at the end of treatment.

​

What Does Your Care Journey Look Like?

​

• Step 1: Intake Consultation
  This diagnostic session helps us understand your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.

• Step 2: Treatment Consultations
  Ongoing sessions focused on helping you achieve your mental health goals.

• Step 3: Follow-ups
  Continued support to sustain your progress and well-being.

 

How Billing Works?

We partner with Infomedics to handle your invoices seamlessly. Here’s what you can expect:

• You’ll receive an invoice from Infomedics about a month after your consultation.

• Simply pay the invoice, and if applicable, submit it to your insurer for reimbursement.

 

Good News for DSW Clients

If you’re insured with DSW, we’ve got you covered! We’ve arranged direct billing with DSW, so you won’t have to pay upfront or go through Infomedics—less hassle for you.

Understanding Reimbursements and Deductibles

​

• Reimbursement Rates: Depending on your insurance policy, coverage ranges from 62% to 100%.

• Mandatory Deductible (eigen risico): In 2025, this is set at €385 per year. The first €385 of your care costs is your responsibility. If your treatment spans two calendar years, this deductible applies separately to each year.

 

Requirements for Insurance Reimbursement

​

​​​​Eligibility for reimbursement under the Health Insurance Act requires a recognized psychological diagnosis as outlined in the DSM-5 and a referral letter. The referral letter confirming this diagnosis is typically provided by your GP (general practitioner) or POH GGZ. During the intake, our specialist will confirm the potential for treatment reimbursement.
