Changes supplementary plans
-
Maximum reimbursements have changed
ONVZ Bewuste Keuze lets you choose which health-care provider you want to visit and which hospital you want to be treated at. If you visit a non-contracted health-care provider, maximum reimbursements will apply. We change these every year. You can find the new maximum reimbursements at onvz.nl/maximale-vergoedingen. Using our Zorgzoeker search tool, you can see whether a health-care provider has a contract with us.

No reimbursement after consuming alcohol or taking drugs or narcotics
If it is determined that you consumed alcohol or took drugs or narcotics prior to an accident, you will not be able to submit a claim under the ‘Dental health care after an accident’ or the ‘Physiotherapy and remedial therapy after an accident’ coverage from 1 January 2026.
-
Changes to reimbursement for antenatal/post-natal care
As of 1 January 2026, the reimbursement for maternity care and births in an outpatient clinic will be changed in ONVZ Bewuste Keuze Extra. The reimbursement will be 50% of the personal contribution for your maternity care or birth in an outpatient clinic up to a maximum of €125 per pregnancy.
-
New quality requirements for skin therapists
The ONVZ Bewuste Keuze basic health-care plan and supplementary health-care plans reimburse oedema or scar therapy by a skin therapist. As of 1 January 2026, the skin therapist must be quality registered in the Kwaliteitsregister Paramedici (Quality Register for Allied Health Professionals). To give health-care providers enough time to complete their registration, we will also still reimburse treatments in 2026 if the skin therapist is registered with the NVH. We will stop doing this in 2027.
