Is Chiropractic Care Reimbursed?
Naomi van Veen
Owner & Chiropractor at TOPCHIRO Amsterdam
Many patients considering chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, or sports injuries ask the same question first: will my insurance reimburse the visits?
In the Netherlands, chiropractic care is not covered under the basic health insurance package (basisverzekering). However, most major insurers reimburse a portion of the cost through supplementary insurance (aanvullende verzekering). The number of sessions and the per-visit reimbursement depend on the policy tier you have chosen.
Tips before booking:
- Check your supplementary policy for "chiropractie" or "alternatieve geneeswijzen."
- Confirm that the chiropractor is registered with the NCA (Nederlandse Chiropractoren Associatie) — most insurers require this.
- Keep your invoices; reimbursement is usually claimed afterward.
At TOPCHIRO, all chiropractors are NCA-registered, so claims are processed smoothly. If you are unsure about your coverage, our front desk is happy to help you check.
