When you have a Dutch insurance, the consultation or treatment is directly invoiced to the health insurance. You do not have to pay in advance. If you do not have Dutch health insurance, you pay after the consultation. You receive a letter for the insurance which explains about the treatment and costs, so you may can get it reimbursed. Always make sure to check with your insurance if all costs are covered. Extra consults next to the treatment might not be fully covered.

For the costs of a consultation or treatment of therapists other than dentists, you should contact the relevant practitioner.
