Rates obstetric care
Obstetric care reimbursed in full
Obstetric care is included in the basic health insurance package in the Netherlands. All care you receive from us will be reimbursed in full.
What is reimbursed?
- Complete obstetric care
- Complete prenatal and natal care
- Complete postnatal care (the care provided by the midwife during the postnatal period)
- The dating scan and the 20-week scan (structural sonographic examinations)
- In the event of a medical indication: the growth scan (30 – 32 weeks), the position scan (36 weeks) and other scans that are necessary at any particular moment due to medical reasons
What is not reimbursed as standard?
- Vitality scan (between 6 to 10 weeks)
- Screening test, such as the NIPT, is sometimes partially reimbursed
- Scans at the expectant mother’s own request
What is never reimbursed?
A fun scan, a scan to determine the gender and/or the 3D or 4D scan are never reimbursed. These are not considered to have a medical indication and are therefore always at one’s own expense.
Hospital costs for outpatient births
If there is no medical necessity to give birth in the hospital, in other words if there is no medical indication, you can still deliver your baby in a hospital outpatient clinic. For such an outpatient birth your health insurance could ask for a personal contribution. The amount depends on your insurance policy.
