Sports doctor
Under the Extrafit plan, the costs of a sports examination, including for diving, are covered. Diving is a high-risk sport so the doctor performing the examination must meet high requirements. There are not many sports doctors in the Netherlands who have also taken specific training for providing diving examinations, meaning your choice of a good health-care provider is limited. For this reason, from 1 January 2019, this examination can also be performed by other doctors who have followed this training.
Alternative/ non-conventional medicine
he Extrafit plan covers alternative/non-conventional medicine provided or prescribed by a doctor. The coverage will change considerably on 1 January 2019. From then on, we will also reimburse the costs of treatment/medicine when provided or prescribed by another type of practitioner (however, he or she must be a member of a professional organisation recognised by ONVZ). This means that, from 2019, one maximum amount of coverage will apply for this health care, regardless of the provider.
Medicines
From 1 January 2019, we will no longer reimburse the costs of medicines for erectile dysfunction.
Skin therapy: electrical epilation and laser treatment
The Extrafit plan covers electrical epilation and laser treatment in cases of excessive facial hair growth. In 2019, the maximum coverage is €150 and applies to the entire term of the policy.
Skin therapy: cosmetic camouflage instruction
The Extrafit plan covers cosmetic camouflage instruction in cases of severe, disfiguring skin abnormalities on the face and/or neck. The coverage for this will be capped from 1 January 2019: under the Extrafit plan, a maximum of €70 will be reimbursed for a maximum of 2 lessons. We no longer cover the costs of the camouflage products.
Carers: support
To help carers maintain a healthy life balance, we offer support through our ZorgConsulent advisers under the Extrafit plan. These advisers are trained to listen to your problems and they can also help you set boundaries, expand or re-expand your social network, or better combine your carer duties with your regular job.
