Most health insurance companies reimburse a treatment of the osteopath in whole or in part. This of course depends on the insurer and the policy taken out.

NOTE: OSTEOPATHY IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANDATORY DEDUCTIBLE!

The so-called “compulsory excess” (in 2023 and 2024 to a maximum of €385 on an annual basis) only applies to medical expenses covered by the basic insurance. Osteopathy is reimbursed from the supplementary insurance and therefore does not count towards this excess.Of course, there may be a deductible that you yourself have determined when entering into the supplementary policy, see your policy conditions.

As such, treatments are fully or partially reimbursed by all insurers, provided osteopathy is included in the policy.
For treatment at the osteopath, you do not need a referral from a general practitioner or medical specialist.

Below is an overview of the different insurers, their policies and the corresponding reimbursement for a treatment of osteopathy. Although this list is carefully compiled annually by the Dutch Association for Osteopathy (NVO), it is best to contact your insurer to inquire about the amount of reimbursement in your policy.
