Skin therapy and laser therapy are not included in basic insurance. The advantage of reimbursement from supplemental health insurance is that no deductible applies.<\/p>\n<p>The skin therapy treatments eligible for reimbursement are: acne therapy (from care profile acne grade 2), camouflage therapy and facial excessive hair.<\/p>\n<p>For the amount of reimbursement, it is best to check your own policy terms and conditions. On average, reimbursement is between \u20ac100 and \u20ac700 per year. Conditions and amounts are adjusted each year. We therefore recommend checking and comparing at the end of the year to see if supplemental health insurance is (still) out. Sometimes the fees are less than the amount you have to start paying extra each month. In that case, it is more beneficial to pay for the treatments yourself. If you are in doubt about whether or not something will be reimbursed, contact your health insurance company. You are always responsible for submitting the claim yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Laser Clinic meets all requirements<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Laser Clinic | Skin Therapy is affiliated with the Dutch Association of Skin Therapists (NVH) and is registered in the paramedics quality register.

With a skin therapist, you can count on very expert and reliable advice. A skin therapist is a paramedic with a college education who is always up to date and familiar with the new insights and developments within the field. At The Laser Clinic, we meet strict requirements and we work with a quality system. We are members of the professional association NVH and we are registered in the quality register of paramedics. We also have a BIG registration and a partnership with physicians and other disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Is reimbursement always more beneficial?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>No, unfortunately it is possible that the reimbursement is lower than the monthly amount you have to pay extra. In that case, see if you will also take advantage of the other reimbursements or choose to pay for the treatments yourself. Since they are healthcare expenses, however, you can claim them as healthcare expenses on your tax return.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Does the fee stay the same every year?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>No, health insurance companies generally adjust their terms and conditions every year. The amount may change, or a treatment may be removed from the package entirely. The requirements may also change; to have or not to have a referral letter, the age limit, the severity of the condition and which conditions. Therefore, always read the policy terms carefully before you sign up for a new supplemental health insurance policy or want to take advantage of reimbursement. Every year around mid-November, health insurers announce their new terms and conditions for the following year.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Are you affiliated with all health insurance companies?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Yes indeed!
