Is a dietitian covered? Yes, through your basic health insurance
Dietary advice is covered for three hours per calendar year under the Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering), with no referral letter needed. With supplementary insurance you are often entitled to more sessions. If you are over 18, your deductible (eigen risico) applies, except within an integrated care network (ketenzorg).
- Contracted with all Dutch health insurers
- Dutch Quality Register for Paramedics, KP 19101626789
- Integrated care (ketenzorg) via ROHA: diabetes, CVRM and COPD without deductible
Covered by insurance, no referral needed
Three hours of dietary advice a year from Dutch basic health insurance, with every insurer, and often more with supplementary cover. We spread the consultations smartly across the year, so you keep support all year round.
Ten years of clinical experience
Thousands of people supported, from elite athletes to complex medical cases: evidence-based guidelines, translated into your everyday life.
Measuring is knowing
Weight and body fat percentage at every review, circumference measurements where useful, so your progress becomes visible. No empty promises.
Can’t find your question?
We help with every question in which nutrition plays a role, even if your complaint does not fit one of the seventeen areas. A single question by e-mail is answered free of charge; in a 90-minute intake we map out your situation in full.
Frequently asked questions
About waiting times, the first appointment, online consultations, languages and working together with your GP.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We get in touch within one working day of your sign-up. The intake is usually scheduled within one to two weeks, at one of our locations, at your home or online.
What happens in the first appointment?
The intake takes 60 minutes: a full screening with measurement of weight and body fat percentage (circumference measurements where useful), a dietary history and personal advice straight away. Afterwards we work out your personal plan and sample day menu; those 30 minutes of preparation are part of the intake, 90 minutes of your cover in total.
Will I have to follow a strict diet?
No. We work with a realistic eating pattern that fits your life, your kitchen and your schedule. Small steps you can keep up: little steps are the greatest.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Our dietitians are multilingual and consultations in English are no problem, in person or online. Expats and internationals are very welcome, and the cover from Dutch basic health insurance is exactly the same.
Can I be seen online or at home?
Yes. We also work fully online: video consultations are just as personal and are covered in the same way, wherever you live in the Netherlands. For those who find it hard to leave the house, we make home visits. Let us know your preference when you sign up.
Do you work together with my GP?
Where needed we coordinate with your GP (huisarts) or specialist, for example for diabetes, malnutrition or cardiovascular disease. Within integrated care that collaboration is standard.
Where is NutriHealth located?
Our main location is the Gezondheidscentrum Slotervaart health centre, Louwesweg 6 in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, with free parking. We also hold consultations in Amsterdam Zuidoost and Ookmeer and in Almere. Online we support clients across the Netherlands, and where needed we come to your home.
