Costs

Adults

For adults (18 years and older) treatment by a psychiatrists falls under specialized mental health care (SGGZ) and is covered by basic Dutch health insurance. SGGZ treatment falls under the so called ‘Zorgprestatiemodel’ (ZPM). The total costs of the treatment depend on the nature and complexity of the treatment. The rates are determined by the Dutch Healthcare Authority and can be found here.

KSP does not have any contracts with Dutch health insurance agencies. It depends on your insurance plan,  how much of the costs are covered. With a basic insurance plan, usually around 70% of the costs are covered. It is advised to contact your health insurance agency prior to the treatment, to check exactly how much of the costs they cover.

In order to get reimbursed you need a valid referral note and a DSM-5 diagnosis needs to be set.

A valid referral note clearly states a referral to the SGGZ, the presumed DSM-5 diagnosis and the referrer’s AGB Code.

If you wish to come into treatment without going through your insurance agency (in this case a valid referral or diagnosis isn’t necessary) the costs of the treatment are €180- per hour.

Children and adolescents

For children and adolescents (younger than 18 years) treatment within the specialized mental health care (SGGZ) is covered by the municipality.

KSP does not have any contracts with Dutch municipalities. It is advised to contact your municipality prior to the treatment, to check whether you can apply for reimbursement. This is usually possible through a PGB (personal budget). 

In order to get reimbursed by the municipality you need a valid referral note and a DSM-5 diagnosis needs to be set.
