Rates
I work without contracts with health insurance companies. Mental health care for adults is partially reimbursed by the health insurer. Before starting treatment, please check the conditions of your health insurer and the information in this overview.
After each session, you will receive an invoice by email; the payment term is a maximum of 14 days. If your health insurer reimburses all, or part of, the treatment from the basic package, you can submit the invoice afterward. For this reimbursement, you need a referral letter with the following details:
- Date of issue;
- The AGB code of the referring professional, or if it’s someone else: the name of this contact person, their specialty, and phone number; Note: If it’s a temporary replacement, the practice’s AGB code suffices; a personal AGB code is not required
- That there is a (suspected) DSM-5 disorder;
- The level to which you are referred: generalist basic mental health care (gb-ggz);
- Whether it is a re-referral for mental health care.
Practice Axis Mundi applies the rates from the ‘Standard Price List for Individual Treatment’ of the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa rates 2026), as set by the government (see table for NZa Rates Clinical Psychologist outpatient setting section II 2026, zorgprestatiemodel.nza.nl). On the invoice, you can see when and for how long you had a treatment. This is based on healthcare performance. From January 1, 2022, the invoice also includes the type of care needed (“Zorgprestatiemodel”).
Below are the most commonly used rates in my practice:
| Performance code | Performance | Minutes | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| CO0562 / CO0692 / CO0952 | Diagnostics | 60 / 75 / 120 | € 200,99 / € 245,04 / € 416,55 |
| CO0627 / CO0887 | Treatment | 60 / 90 | € 177,89 / € 267,52 |
| OV0007 / OV0008 | Intercollegial consultation | 5 (short) / 15 (long) | € 32,50 / € 93,60 |
| OV0165 | Non basic healthcare package | 60 | € 146,- |
Attention! Check with your insurer in advance how much they reimburse for treatment by a ‘non-contracted BIG-registered health care psychologist’ to avoid any surprises. Health insurers may reimburse (a percentage of) the ‘market standard rate’ or the ‘average contracted rate.’ This may be less than the NZa rate. Therefore, ask your health insurer for the exact amount or the percentage of the NZa rates that they reimburse.
Paying yourself If there is no DSM-5 diagnosis, you will have to pay for the treatment yourself (Rate: 146 euros per session of 60 minutes). Burnout or adjustment disorders can be treated, but they are not covered by the reimbursement under the Health Insurance Act. When this is the case, there will be no reimbursement from the health insurance.
The government has determined that reimbursement no longer applies to treatment for the diagnoses “adjustment disorders,” “relationship problems,” and “other conditions and problems that may be a reason for seeking care,” the so-called V-codes. The costs of these treatments are therefore your own responsibility.
For 2026, the maximum rate for non-basic-insurance-covered care (service code OVO165) has been set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) at €146 per 60 minutes, including both direct and indirect time. This rate applies in my practice.
Choice of Health Insurance At the end of each year, you can take out a new insurance policy. If you wish to switch, it is important to keep two dates in mind: you must cancel your current insurance before January 1, and a new insurer must be chosen before February 1 of that same year.
Canceling an appointment
You can cancel a session free of charge up to 48 hours (two workdays) before the session by email. Converting an on-site appointment to an online appointment is possible up to 10 minutes before the session and is free of charge. If you cancel an appointment within 48 hours, or do not show up within 15 minutes of the start time of the session, I will charge €75,- as partial compensation for the treatment time; you cannot claim these costs from your health insurer.
No show If an appointment is cancelled within two working days of the scheduled time, or if you do not show up within 10 minutes of the appointment time, a fee of €75 will be charged as partial compensation for the reserved treatment time. These costs cannot be claimed from your health insurance provider. If you arrive late for your appointment, the time originally scheduled in the appointment calendar will still be charged.
