Challenges Faced by Psychiatrists and Psychologists in 2025 Over Billing Practices
In 2025, psychiatrists and psychologists in the Netherlands may face challenges in submitting claims to insurers due to changes in regulations that could compromise patient confidentiality. A crisis meeting at the Ministry of Health has yet to yield solutions, raising concerns about the financial stability of independent care providers. The current situation stems from a problematic reform of the billing system, which has left providers vulnerable as they await new regulations to facilitate sharing patient information. The cabinet is urging for temporary practical solutions to ensure continued care delivery.
