Osteopathy in the Netherlands is considered an alternative medicine. This has two implications.

First, you don't need a GP referral to access osteopathic treatments.

Second, to be eligible for a reimbursement (partial in most of the cases) from the insurance company the patient must have chosen to include a supplement for alterative medicine on top of the basic package, provided that the osteopath is registered to a national organization (NOF or NRO).

Each insurance company has different rules regarding reimbursement of osteopathic treatment. Please refer to your insurance company website for more information.

You can use an health insurance comparator, such as Zorgwijzer.nl to check how much insurance companies reimburse.

*** DISCLAIMER: In order to get registered to NOF or NRO it is requested from the Osteopath to reach level B1 on Dutch. I am in the process of reaching that level therefore no reimbursement can be expected from the insurance company at the moment. I will update this page as soon as I get registered. ***

I kindly ask you to cancel the appointment with at least 24 hours notice. This is needed for managing costs and scheduling.

If, for unexpected reasons or negligence, you're not able to cancel the appointment according to the notice or you don't show up at the appointment, you'll be charged with a No-Show fee of € 40.00.
