Practical Matters

Getting to know and signing up

You can register for a free, no-obligation 15-minute introductory meeting by phone or  Zoom. We will get to know each other and briefly discuss your complaint/request for help. You can then assess whether you experience a sufficient click and I can see whether I can offer you the right help. If my help does not fully meet your expectations and/or request for help, I can make you a referral proposal, if desired).

If we decide that Outdoor Psycholoog Leiden suits your need, we can plan an extensive intake.. Your problem will be further discussed, its history and your goals and wishes with regard to the treatment. Together we agree on the most suitable treatment method and which form of therapy (online, walking, or equi) suits you and your complaint.

Referrers
Are you a referrer and would you like to refer a patient? I can be found in Zorgdomein under the care request menu > mental health care > Adults > complaint 18+ > bggz > Outdoor Psycholoog Leiden.

Prices for outdoor therapy and online therapy

Because I am a GZ psychologist, treatments for mild to moderate psychological complaints are reimbursed from your basic insurance. There are always the costs of the deductible.

You need a referral from your GP and there must be a diagnosis. The amount of the reimbursement depends on your insurance, usually between 60% and 100% is reimbursed. I have deliberately not made any contract agreements with insurers. See for more information. I advise you to contact your insurer to ask for information about the reimbursements of your insurance. You can indicate to your insurer that it concerns non-contracted care from a psychologist’s practice. If you mention the codes CO0562 and CO627, your insurer can indicate how much you will be reimbursed per 60 minutes. I usually schedule appointments of 75 minutes.

At the end of the year you can switch insurer and/or policy. If you are going to be treated around this time, it may be useful to switch to another policy and/or insurer. See here for more information about reimbursements from insurers for non-contracted psychologists.

I use the rates as legally established by the government for psychological care (the 100% NZA rate). The rate depends on the duration and type of consultation. As a rule, I plan 75 minutes for a consultation, if we deviate from this by more than 15 minutes, I will adjust this on the invoice

The established rate per one-hour session in 2023 is:

• Intake/diagnostics: €183.44 per session. (On average, 2 of these sessions are required). As of 1-1-2025, this will be €192.00. These are amounts for 60-minute sessions
• Treatment: €161.46 per session. (On average, 8-10 of these sessions are required). As of 1-1-2025, this will be €169.00. These are amounts for 60-minute sessions.

If you prefer conversations without compensation, the rate for intake interviews and treatment conversations is the same as the above rates. The same rate applies to substantive e-mail contact. This will be calculated per required quarter of an hour. A surcharge of €30.00 will be charged for requests for a treatment conversation within 0-24 hours. There are no costs associated with an introductory conversation (15 minutes).

After the conversation/e-mail contact, you will receive the invoice. This must be paid before the next conversation. Treatments by NIP psychologists are exempt from VAT.

Outdoor Psychologist Leiden has not made any contractual agreements with municipalities. There is therefore no possibility of reimbursement for children/youth.
