Employment agencies with foreign employees
June 2025:
We are temporarily closed for new patiënts. You can solely consult us for those workers that are registered with us. For medical help for new workers you will need to consult another GP office.
​
​​We are consulted frequently by employment agencies for their workers who are not registered with a GP.
​
Our small team and premises poses limitations to accompany unplanned care for non-registered patients. If our schedule allows it, we will provide an appointment.
​​
We advise to register all workers whose address is registered in a ‘gemeente’ and who are staying for 3 months or longer. The registration needs to be in the gemeente of residence.
​
The registration is covered by insurance and once registered, that GP practice is obliged to provide healthcare.
​
Our practice is closed for new registrations. ​
​
Requesting same-day appointment:
We kindly ask you to request same-day appointments by telephone (between 9.00 and 10.30 am). If there is an acute emergency always by phone.

Information about translators:
We respect the privacy of our patients. Translators that don’t have a direct working relationship with the employee are welcome if the patient gives consent.
(Dutch) staff accompanying the patient, that do not speak their language, stay in the waiting room during the consultation. They might be asked to help with logistic questions afterwards.
​
Information about costs:
We kindly ask you to inform all employees of the Dutch healthcare system in advance; especially about the ‘eigen risico’ (excess). The excess in 2025 is € 385,-.
​
The care provided by GP is free of excess, but if we refer to a laboratory, clinic or hospital, the patient will pay an excess.
​
We check the insurance by BSN number, if we can not find an insurance in the system you will be asked to pay for the consultation in advance. We only take card payments.
