Rates

No (or insufficient) reimbursement for physiotherapy? Our packages offer a solution.

Not everyone has (sufficient) supplementary insurance for physiotherapy. It is also common for clients to exhaust their coverage during the year. In these situations, we at FRISKFYSIO apply our standard rates.

In addition, we offer physiotherapy packages as a transparent and affordable alternative.

When are our packages suitable?

Our treatment and subscription packages are particularly suitable if you:

• has not taken out supplementary insurance for physiotherapy;

• insufficient treatments are reimbursed by your supplementary insurance;

• consciously opts for clarity and fixed costs;

• has long-term or recurring symptoms that require multiple treatments.

Benefits of our physiotherapy packages

• Often lower costs per treatment than individual treatments at the standard rate

• Complete clarity about costs in advance

• No claims or dependence on the health insurer

• Suitable for both short-term and long-term support

Personal advice

Are you unsure whether supplementary insurance, individual treatment or a package is most suitable for your situation? Our physiotherapists are happy to help you and provide clear and personalised advice so that you can make an informed choice.

Is physiotherapy included in the basic package?

Physiotherapy is partially covered by basic health insurance, but in most cases it is reimbursed by supplementary insurance. Whether and how much physiotherapy you are reimbursed for depends on your age, your condition, the indication and the policy conditions of your health insurer.

At FRISKFYSIO, we believe it is important that you are well informed in advance, so that you are not faced with any surprises.

Reimbursement for physiotherapy under basic insurance

Insured persons aged 18 and over – chronic conditions

For chronic conditions that appear on the national list of chronic conditions, physiotherapy or exercise therapy is reimbursed by basic insurance from the 21st treatment onwards.

The first 20 treatments are not covered by basic insurance. These initial treatments may be partially or fully covered by supplementary insurance, depending on your policy. Some supplementary insurance policies also cover the first 20 treatments for chronic conditions.

In the case of lifelong chronic conditions, these first 20 treatments are only excluded from reimbursement once. If you switch health insurers and these treatments have already been used, they may not be charged again.

The policy conditions of your health insurer always take precedence. Your physiotherapist can provide you with general information about this, but cannot give you any advice about insurance.

Incontinence

For incontinence problems, the first nine physiotherapy treatments are covered by basic insurance, provided that the treatment is carried out by a registered pelvic physiotherapist.

Depending on your supplementary insurance, any follow-up treatments may still be reimbursed. The exact reimbursement varies per health insurer and policy.

Physiotherapy for children up to 18 years of age

Children under the age of 18 are eligible for more generous reimbursement. The first 18 treatments per condition per calendar year are reimbursed under the basic insurance. If more treatments are required, reimbursement may be provided under the parents' supplementary insurance, if they are insured for this.

In the case of a chronic condition, full reimbursement is provided under the basic insurance.

Intermittent claudication (window shopping legs)

In the case of intermittent claudication (Fontaine 2), supervised walking therapy is covered by basic insurance, provided you have a referral from your general practitioner or medical specialist.

Many health insurers apply a selective purchasing policy. This means that reimbursement will only be provided if the treatment is carried out at a physiotherapy practice affiliated with Chronisch ZorgNet.

The duration and extent of the reimbursement depend on the applicable medical guidelines, the terms and conditions of your health insurer, and your personal situation.

Osteoarthritis of the knee or hip

For osteoarthritis of the knee or hip, a limited number of treatments per 12 months are covered by basic insurance. If additional treatments are required, reimbursement may be possible through supplementary insurance.

Conditions and reimbursements vary per health insurer and may change annually. Therefore, always consult your policy conditions.

COPD

For COPD, physiotherapy and exercise therapy are covered by basic insurance from the first treatment onwards. The maximum number of treatments depends on the severity of the symptoms and the applicable medical guidelines.

Your physiotherapist can provide you with further information on this and work with you to determine a suitable treatment plan.

Excess and physiotherapy

Reimbursements from the basic insurance are subject to the compulsory excess for insured persons aged 18 and over, in accordance with the applicable statutory amount. Reimbursements from the supplementary insurance are not subject to the excess.

The exact reimbursements and conditions under the supplementary insurance can be found in the policy conditions of your health insurer, often under physiotherapy, exercise therapy, exercise care or paramedical care.

Is FRISKFYSIO affiliated with health insurers?

Yes, FRISKFYSIO has contracts with health insurers in the Netherlands. If you have supplementary insurance for physiotherapy, in many cases treatments can be claimed directly from your health insurer.

If you do not have supplementary insurance or your supplementary insurance is insufficient, we will apply our standard rates. These may differ from the rates reimbursed by health insurers.

Have you exhausted your reimbursement? Then our treatment and subscription packages may be a suitable and transparent solution.
