| HollandZorg public healthcare insurance |
100% for contracted care, minus the statutory personal contribution. |
Maximum rates non-contracted provider
If the medical aids are available from a contracted care provider in time, but you prefer to go to a non-contracted care provider, we will apply a maximum reimbursement. The non-contracted provider has to comply with the conditions set out in the Medical Aids Regulations.
A medical aid or dressing that we normally sell to you is reimbursed up to a maximum of 75% of the costs we would incur if you would have received the care from a contracted care provider. In that case, we also reimburse a maximum of 75% of any repair costs in connection with the medical aid.
Statutory personal contribution
Insured persons under the age of 16 pay a statutory personal contribution of €63,50 per pair. Are you 16 or older? Then you pay a statutory personal contribution of €127,- per pair.
There is no statutory personal contribution for orthopaedic inner shoes and orthopaedic adjustments to ready-to-wear shoes.
Excess
Are you 18 or older? The costs of orthopaedic shoes count towards the compulsory and, if applicable, voluntary excess.
Who can you go to?
Orthopaedic shoes are available from a contracted provider of medical aids. You do not need our prior consent if you go to a contracted provider. Our Care Guide helps you find a contracted provider near you.
If you go to an non-contracted provider, it must be S.E.M.H.-recognised. A request for consent must be made in writing in advance.

Maximum rates for a non-contracted care provider
If, for care included in the public healthcare insurance, you choose a healthcare provider with whom we have not made any agreements, the rates in the Rate list for non-contracted care will apply. Do the rates charged by the non-contracted healthcare provider exceed our maximum rates? In that case, the difference will be payable by you. This will apply for reimbursement both under the public healthcare insurance, and the supplementary insurance.
