Combined lifestyle intervention
Reimbursements
An insured person aged 16 or 17 is also entitled to care if the general practitioner deems the care appropriate. A combined lifestyle interventions consists of a combination of interventions aimed at reducing the intake of energy, increasing physical exercise and any customised addition of psychological interventions to support a change in behaviour. A combined lifestyle intervention is offered in the form of a care programme. The care programme consists of individual sessions and sessions in group form and we distinguish a treatment phase and a maintenance phase. The care programme takes a total of 24 consecutive months to complete.
Care programmes that are included in the list 'Aangewezen zorgprogramma’s gecombineerde leefstijlinterventie' qualify for a reimbursement. This list may change during the year.
