Dutch health insurance (OHRA, CZ, Achmea, PNO, etc.)

Clients who wish to be reimbursed for their treatment need the referral letter from their General Practitioner, with the information provided in this referral form (mandatory information is marked with asterisk*). It is responsibility of a client to check the extent of his/her insurance policy with their insurer. For information purposes, you can download this useful document, showing rates of reimbursement of most Dutch health insurance companies. 

Poradnia has NOT entered contracts with Dutch health insurers, due to inflated administration burden imposed by insurance companies, and privacy concerns related to it.  

International insurance (Cigna, Bupa, Allianz, etc.)

Treatments provided by Poradnia are usually accepted by most other international insurers, however it is important to check the coverage of the policy first.

General Payment Conditions

 Poradnia does not issue monthly or per-session bills for treatment covered by Dutch insurance schemes. An invoice for the entire treatment is issued at the end of the therapy. The client then submits the invoice to insurance company for reimbursement (here is the list of reimbursement rates of most insurance companies).

ATTENTION: Responsibility for timely payment and obtaining reimbursement lies solely with the client.

Payment conditions for services provided by Poradnia are in line with the standard payment conditions as laid out by the Netherlands Institute of Psychologists. These are as follows:

These general terms and conditions are applicable to all consulting, assessment and treatment agreements, agreed upon orally and/or in writing between the psychologist and the client.

All fees, costs and other remuneration of the services provided by Poradnia, and agreed orally and/or in writing between the psychologist and the client must be paid either by card or in cash after each session, or – in case of payment after completing entire treatment – within the time indicated on the final invoice.

If the customer has not paid the amount due within the period indicated in point 2., or if the payment has not been received within ten days after the indicated payment period, the client is considered in arrears without any further written or oral notice. The client is then due on the outstanding amount to the psychologist + statutory interests.

In the case described in point 3., the psychologist is immediately entitled to collect the claim or to nominate third parties (e.g. bailiff) to collect the amount due. All judicial and extra-judicial costs associated with the collection of fees due shall be borne by the client.
