“We found that you may know how much your care. And understand that you want information about the price and quality of care. So you can make the best choice,” CZ reported on its website.
CZ gives first insight into the rates that are within the maximum deductible of 885 euros.
With the publication of tariffs CZ responds to the call of the Consumers for so-called contracted rates of hospital care publicly make.
Price fixing
the Consumers Association wants hospitals and health insurance companies to be more transparent about the price agreements. In this way, patients can better assess what treatment will cost and compare prices between hospitals.
According to the Consumers were earlier promises to improve information hardly fulfilled. “We demand improvement and we call to support consumers in this call. Thus, we can put together the pressure increasing on both sides.”
Mystery Patient
The union did its own research with ‘mystery’ positive patients, which they did ask for the treatments prices on health insurance companies and hospitals. The amounts of certain treatments may vary according to the Consumers to several thousand euros between hospitals.
All Dutch citizens are required to have health insurance with a compulsory excess. The amounts above the deductible are reimbursed only after it is paid. Costs for many (initial) treatment, the patient must pay for itself.
