Billing and Insurance

It is important to note, in the Netherlands you must first obtain a referral from your Primary Care Physician (General practitioner) or the “Huisartsenpost” before receiving an appointment to ensure coverage by your insurance provider. Referals may also come from your Midwife, Dentist or another MD. They will give you a form with a reference number that you will submit when you come for your appointment.
