You are obliged to insure yourself against sickness. This may have implications for the compensation of treatment or research.
Compensation
It is not obvious that all treatments and examinations are compensated. Whether you receive compensation depends on:
- your health insurance
- a referral from your GP, specialist, occupational physician, dentist or midwife
Uninsured care
If treatment is not medically necessary and the treatment is not included in your supplementary health insurance, the insurer does not compensate. We speak of uninsured care. This is for instance the case for cosmetic surgery and sterilization. You pay for the treatment yourself. The price of the treatment can be obtained from the department of care records, telephone 0031 (0) 72 548 3868 / 0031 (0) 71 548 3867. We will send the hospital bills to your home address.
Very important
It is very important to know whether your insurance covers your research or your treatment in full or partially. Always contact your health care provider.
