BILLING & CANCELLATIONS

The Dutch system for medical billing can be different to that of other countries. Depending on your insurance, and what policy you have, there are many variables that can affect whether we bill you or your insurance company directly, whether your insurance covers the full or only partial costs, whether you require a referral letter from your GP to see a specialist, etc. To find out more about Dutch insurance and how the Dutch healthcare system works, follow this link.

Annual registration fee (Foreign Insurance)

Please be aware that for non-Dutch insured patients, an annual registration fee, renewable each year, may apply. The registration fee or inschrijftarief is common in The Netherlands to cover the regular running costs associated with operating a medical practice. The fee is per registered family member (registered for GP / all medical services) and is usually reimbursed by insurance companies. Please contact us via email admin@ihch.nl if you would like further information.

Quarterly inschrijftarief  fee (Dutch Insurance)

This is the fee that the GP practice receives per quarter for all registered patients. It does not matter whether you have been to your doctor or not. The GP receives the registration fee from the health insurer. This ensures that you can always visit your GP if you need a medical care. In addition to the registration fee, the practice receives compensation for a consultation, minor procedure or home visit.
