Nederlands (nl-NL) The self-employed psychiatrist in private practice
Welcome to this website dedicated to self-employed psychiatrists in private practice in the Netherlands. A self-employed psychiatrist is a medical specialist (physician) who provides specialized mental healthcare independently, operating their own private practice. Some of these psychiatrists choose not to enter into contracts with health insurers, sometimes referred to as 'contractvrije' psychiatrists. These contracts typically govern the financial aspects of healthcare, such as reimbursement rates and administrative requirements. For some, opting out is a principled decision, while others may find it challenging or impractical to establish such agreements. This website aims to offer accurate and relevant information to both patients and self-employed psychiatrists about this unique group of mental healthcare providers. While the information for patients is available in English, the content for self-employed psychiatrists is available in Dutch only.
