In 2026, 130 of the 183 supplementary plans from 36 health insurers cover chiropractic care, up to € 1,500 per year with the most generous plan. It does not affect your deductible. Arthur Mulder is listed in the National Register of Chiropractors (RegisterChiropractor): if your insurer asks for a registration, this is it. You can look up what your own plan covers under reimbursements.

A valid question before you make an appointment: Is chiropractic care reimbursed? In most cases, yes - although it depends on your supplementary insurance. We explain how it works, without the fine print.

Reimbursement comes from the supplementary insurance

Chiropractic is not part of the basic insurance, but most health insurers (partly) cover it from the supplementary insurance. The big advantage: reimbursement from the supplementary insurance does not come out of your deductible.

How much will you be reimbursed?

That varies per plan: per treatment from € 25 to € 100, and per year up to € 1,500 with the most generous plan. Some plans cover a handful of treatments, others considerably more. Your own policy conditions always apply.

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.
