Compensation
All care provided by De Kinderartsenpraktijk is covered by your health insurance.
If you have a referral from your family doctor, pediatrician, or another medical specialist, you won’t have to pay anything extra out of pocket. You also won’t have to pay anything upfront. In the Netherlands, fixed rates have been agreed upon for pediatric care. These rates are the same for everyone. At De Kinderartsenpraktijk, we therefore charge the same rates as hospitals. Payment works slightly differently at our practice than at a hospital.
This is because De Kinderartsenpraktijk does not yet have fixed agreements with all health insurers.
The bill
The bill is automatically generated by a national system. We have no control over the amount. The price is exactly the same as for the same care provided at a hospital, even though hospitals typically schedule less time per child.
About three months after your first visit, we’ll prepare and send the bill.
Depending on your health insurance provider, we’ll either send the bill directly to them or ask you to do so yourself. Would you like to know exactly how the bill is calculated? Read more here.

These health insurers also include the following brands:
- CZ: Ohra, Nationale Nederlanden, Just, CZ direkt
- ASR: ASR—I’ll choose for myself
- Menzis: Different Healthcare, Students Well Insured.
We cannot submit the bill directly to this health insurance provider. We ask that you send the bill to your health insurance provider yourself. You can do this through your insurer’s app or by mail. The insurer will first pay the reimbursement to you; only then should you transfer the reimbursement to De Kinderartsenpraktijk. You have 30 days to do this. So you don’t have to pay anything up front.
Step-by-Step Payment Guide for CZ, ASR, Menzis, and Salland
If you have health insurance through a provider we have an agreement with, you don’t need to do anything. In all other cases, we ask that you follow this step-by-step guide:
Step 1
About three months after your first visit, you’ll receive the bill by email.
You don’t have to pay this bill right away.
Step 2
You must submit the bill to your health insurance provider yourself.
They usually pay within 10 days.
Depending on your health insurance provider, either the full amount or a portion of it will be reimbursed.
Step 3
Please transfer to us only the amount you received from your health insurance provider.
This is not the amount shown on the original invoice.
We cover the difference because none of our parents have to pay for care out of pocket.
You have 30 days to take care of this.

What is not covered?
We only provide care that is covered by health insurance.
With a referral from your family doctor or pediatrician, all costs will be covered.
Not covered:
The cost of the deductible for young people whom we continue to treat after they turn 18.
The fee for failing to show up for an appointment (if you did not cancel in time).
Reimbursements from collaboration partners
The pediatric practice works with various healthcare providers, such as dietitians and physical therapists.
Much of this care for children is covered under the basic health insurance package.
Other care is reimbursed through supplemental insurance or by the municipality.
The pediatrician will always explain how this works for you before you are referred.
We recommend that you check with your health insurance provider to see what is covered under your plan. Our partner organizations will send their own invoices and will inform you of this in advance.
Healthcare is always fully covered—no copay , no deductible, and no additional costs.
There is no deductible for children under 18 years of age.
This means that all costs associated with your visit to the pediatrician are fully covered.
At De Kinderartsenpraktijk, we charge the same rates as the hospital,
, but we schedule more time for appointments.
Can’t we bill your health insurance provider directly?
Then you send the invoice directly to your health insurance provider, just as you would with a bill from the dentist. You only pay us the amount you receive from your health insurance provider.
We cover the difference. This way, we can help all children, regardless of their health insurance.
So, yes, there’s a little extra paperwork, but in return, you and your child will get more time and attention.
I would like to make an appointment
You can make an appointment with a referral letter from your family doctor or pediatrician.
