A Practical training place

Ithaca Psychotherapy Practice B.V. is an accredited training practice for psychologists training to become psychotherapists after their university training. In their examinations and treatments, they are supervised by a senior within the practice and by outside supervisors. Not only does our practice thus contribute to the formation of a new generation, it also benefits from the most up-to-date knowledge and methods that these psychotherapists in training bring.

C Information to health insurers and DIS

Ithaca is required by law to record some of your personal and treatment information. Some of this information will also appear on the bill for the health insurance company. In the specialized mental health system, so is your diagnosis.

Also, Ithaca has an obligation to provide data (the “minimum dataset”) to the national dbc information system, the DIS. This is information about your diagnosis and treatment, among other things, but without your name and address information (anonymous). Ithaca will not provide data to DIS if you object by signing a privacy statement.

D Transferring change data

Any change in your data relevant to the financial processing of your treatment must be communicated in writing to our secretariat. Via info@psychotherapieamstelveen.nl. An invoice not received due to your failure to provide your change of address is covered by normal payment terms.

E Financial responsibility

Ithaca is a contract-free practice and charges 100% of the Nza rate. If you do not have a “pure-reimbursement” policy, you will face a co-payment. The co-payment can be up to 45% of the bill.

Billing costs may vary depending on the number of activities and intensity of treatment. Therefore, check with your insurance company exactly what they will reimburse for a non-contracted Psychotherapy practice that charges the NZA/WMG rate. You are responsible for funding your own treatment and/or psychodiagnostic testing.

The deductible is €385 per calendar year.

F Waiting times

Ithaca Psychotherapy Practice B.V.’s waiting times can be found on our website at https://www.psychotherapieamstelveen.nl.
