Netherlands Contracting Joint Tender

Zorgverzekeraars Nederland ZN emphasizes that contracting is a joint responsibility of health insurers and healthcare providers. It is the ambition of health insurers and healthcare providers to realize accessible and affordable quality care together. Every year health insurers conclude contracts with tens of thousands of health care providers and healthcare institutions. Every year again in the interest of the insured they are committed to ensuring that this is completed in time and with due care.The fact that health insurers have not yet signed all contracts at the moment does not differ from previous years. Sometimes contracts are waiting for signing by the care provider or healthcare institution. It is expected that the remaining contracts will be signed in the coming weeks so that all contracts are received on time. ZN advises insured parties to consult the websites of health insurers for correct information about the contracted care.Insured parties can cancel their current healthcare insurance until 1 January 2019 and must then take out new health insurance before 1 February 2019. On the website of the Dutch Healthcare Authority answers to frequently asked questions about contracting care can be found.
