Medical ultrasound
During pregnancy, a number of ultrasounds are performed for medical reasons. Verloskundigen Rotterdam West is able to offer this within our own practice: several of our midwives are also highly experienced sonographers. Health insurance providers reimburse a limited number of medical ultrasounds. These standardly include the dating scan (at 10-12 weeks) and the 13 & 20-week scans, during which Structural Ultrasound Research (SEO) is conducted. In certain cases, such as blood loss or other medical indications (additional growth measurements, amniotic fluid measurements, placental checks, kidney scans), the health insurance provider will reimburse the examination.
Payment
Obstetric care is listed under basic insurance for full reimbursement. Only medical ultrasound examinations will be reimbursed.
The midwife will send the invoice listing the care provided directly to your health insurance provider. If it is not possible to directly submit the claim to your insurance provider, you will receive an invoice. You can submit this invoice to your health insurance provider yourself.
Consultation listed under additional services are not always covered by insurance policies. Consult with your own health insurance provider beforehand. These consultations can be paid at the reception desk by debit card.
We are required to charge a €25,00 fee for appointments not cancelled 24 hours prior to the appointment and any missed appointments.
