Reimbursement
In most cases, physiotherapy treatments are covered by an additional insurance plan or, if the condition is on the chronic list, through the basic health insurance. For adults, physiotherapy for chronic conditions on the chronic list, osteoarthritis of the knee or hip, and as part of rehabilitation after certain surgeries or treatments, is reimbursed through the basic insurance.
For chronic conditions that are on the government-established list, you will need additional insurance for the first 20 treatments. After that, the treatments are reimbursed through the basic package.
For children, the first 18 treatments are reimbursed, and if more treatments are needed, they may be reimbursed if the child is listed on a parent's health insurance policy.
However, there are certain conditions that must be met for physiotherapy treatments to be reimbursed. The treatment must be provided by an accredited physiotherapist and must be medically necessary. There are also rules regarding the duration and frequency of the treatments. Reimbursement for physiotherapy treatments is often processed on a per-treatment basis.
If you are unsure whether your physiotherapy treatments will be reimbursed, it is recommended to contact your health insurer. They can provide you with detailed information about the reimbursement of physiotherapy treatments and the associated rules. For the most up-to-date information, you can also visit Zorgwijzer.nl.
