Reimbursement comes from the supplementary insurance

Chiropractic is not included in basic insurance, but is (partly) reimbursed by almost all health insurers from the supplementary insurance. The big advantage: reimbursement from the supplementary insurance is not at the expense of your deductible.

How much will you be reimbursed?

This varies per package. Usually there is an amount per treatment and a maximum per year. Some packages reimburse a handful of treatments, others much more. Your own policy conditions are always leading.

Check your coverage in 30 seconds

You don't have to sift through the fine print yourself. Our reimbursement checker lets you choose your insurer and package and immediately shows an indication of what you will be reimbursed — for most Dutch health insurers.

No referral necessary

Because chiropractic care is directly accessible, you do not need a referral from your GP. You make an appointment yourself; We will provide a clear invoice that you can declare to your insurer.

Are you unsure about your package?

Is your insurer not listed, or is your package unclear? Feel free to call us — we'll be happy to sort it out for you. Your own policy always remains decisive.
