I am a member of the Dutch Association for Acupuncture (NVA) and am included in the care finder/care guide of the health insurance companies that fall under the VGZ insurance group (IZA, IZZ, VGZ, Univé and ZEKUR).
Your insurance
To qualify for reimbursement you must have additional insurance coverage, if you have a Dutch insurance. For more information on your Dutch insurance, you can also contact your insurance company.
Rates and more 2024/25
The rate for the intake is € 127.
The intake includes an initial acupuncture treatment.
The rate for each subsequent treatment (follow-up) is 106 (2024) / 107 (2025) euro..
You can book a regular consultation or treatment online here at any time.
All consultations (intake and treatment) for women take 55 minutes.
Sometimes an evening or weekend treatment is necessary. Or it is medically necessary to do the treatment at your home or in the hospital. In these cases, a surcharge to be determined will apply.
Student discount
Female students who study full-time pay a reduced rate: intake is 107 euros and follow-up treatments 87 euros. A student card with a student number is required.
About the payment
For the initial consultation, you will need to confirm and pay for your appointment in advance via the website (see Appointments). The follow-up consultations are paid by automatic banktransfer. The payment period is two weeks from the date of treatment. More information about the terms of payment is noted here.
You do not need a referral from your GP or your specialist for acupuncture treatment. I do, however, advise you to inform your GP that you are being treated with acupuncture.
Complaints procedure: as a member of the NVA, the practice is affiliated with St. Zorggeschil. Information about this is available in practice.
