Ineffective treatments to be removed from basic health insurance package
5 October 2020 - Treatments that have not been proven effective will be removed from the Netherlands' basic health insurance package, national healthcare institute Zorginstituut Nederland announced on Monday.
A "results agreement" will be made for treatments where there has not been clear scientific evidence to prove the programs work as promised.
If proof of the treatment's effectiveness is not provided, it will disappear from the basic insurance packages, ZN chairman Sjaak Wijma said in an interview with AD.
