Every year, the NZa (Dutch Healthcare Authority) advises on the rates in obstetric care. The rates can be found on the NZa website.

Obstetric care

Obstetric care falls under the Health Insurance Act and the health insurer’s basic package and is exempt from excess. This means that the health insurer pays for the care we provide.

You can see which insurers we have a contract with at the bottom of this page.

Own risk and own contribution

You do pay your own risk for some tests and medicines:

• (additional) blood tests (Hb and Glucose)
  • Would you like to know more about the costs of various blood tests? Check the website of Ziekenhuis Gelderse Vallei.
• medicines
• transport to hospital by ambulance

If you want to give birth in a hospital or birth centre without medical grounds (outpatient birth), you will have to pay a personal contribution. How high the personal contribution is differs per hospital or birth centre. You can take out supplementary insurance for this with your health insurer.

You also pay a personal contribution for maternity care. This is €5,10 per hour in 2024. You can also take out supplementary insurance for this with your health insurer.

Contraception care

Most insurers reimburse contraceptive care at the midwife. Are you insured with Zorg en Zekerheid or AZVZ? If so, the insurer will not reimburse contraceptive care in full; this is non-contracted care. After the care, you first pay the bill yourself. You can submit the bill to the insurer. They may reimburse part of it. If this is the case, we will discuss the rates with you.

Depending on your age, contraceptive care (contraceptives) is or is not covered by the basic health insurance package and subject to your own risk.

• Younger than 18: contraception is covered by the basic package and you do not pay any excess.
• Between 18 and 21: contraception is covered by the basic health insurance package. You do pay a deductible. The deductible applies in any case to the contraceptive you pick up from the pharmacy (such as the pill and coil). Most insurers do not require you to pay the deductible for the advance appointment and IUD placement. Check this with your insurer.
• Older than 21: contraception is not covered by the basic package, but may be part of your supplementary package. Check with your insurer what you will and will not be reimbursed.

Childbirth consultation

You can come to the practice for a childbirth consultation. Most insurers reimburse the childbirth consultation. Are you insured with Zorg en Zekerheid or AZVZ? Then the insurer will not reimburse the full cost of the childbirth consultation, as this is non-contracted care. You pay the bill yourself after the childbirth consultation. You can submit the bill to the insurer. They may reimburse part of it. If this is the case, we will discuss the rates with you.

*Failure to show up for an appointment. Unfortunately, it is increasingly common for clients not to show up for appointments without notice. In the time reserved for you at the midwife’s office, someone else could have been helped. Because we want to help everyone who needs a check-up as soon as possible, you can help us by cancelling your appointment in time. If you cannot come, please cancel the appointment 24 hours in advance by phone (0317-411971) or e-mail (info@verloskundigenwageningen.nl). If an appointment is not cancelled or not cancelled on time, we are obliged to send a ‘no-show’ bill. The no-show fee is a compensation for costs incurred by the practice. The rates of the no-show fee for a 15-30-minute check-up is € 25 euros, for an appointment of 45 minutes or longer € 50 euros, these costs are for your own account. This bill will be sent to you by email. We request that you pay the bill before the next appointment.
