Medical insurance and the Birth House
Check whether your medical insurance covers having your baby at the Birth House, if you are insured in the Netherlands. A number of insurance companies partially cover the cost. We are currently negotiating a contract with the insurers so that in future a part of the fee will be paid directly to the Birth Centre. Until this is arranged we will send you an invoice which you can declare to your insurance company yourself.

Midwife’s fee

These costs are entirely covered by your medical insurance policy if you are insured in the Netherlands. The midwife will claim them directly from the insurance company.

Maternity assistants’ fees

The fee for maternity care at your home for a number of hours a day for eight to ten days is almost entirely covered by a standard Dutch medical insurance policy. At the Birth Centre it’s possible to have maternity care for longer than ten days. This ‘maternity care plus’ isn’t covered by insurance and will be invoiced separately. For more information on maternity care, see our website.

Short stay

If you are referred to hospital so your stay at the Birth House is brief (less than four hours) we won’t charge you anything in addition to the deposit of € 400.- you have already paid. We’ll reimburse the remainder within four weeks. The cost of giving birth under medical supervision in hospital is entirely covered by your standard medical insurance if you’re insured in the Netherlands.

Giving birth elsewhere
If in the end you don’t have your baby at the Birth House, within a month of your informing us we will reimburse your payment after deducting an administration fee of € 75.-.

Gift vouchers
Birth House gift vouchers are available so friends and family can contribute to the cost of having your baby with us. You can invite them to give you a voucher as a ‘baby shower’ gift. The vouchers can be ordered via the website.

Pain consultations
To make an appointment for a pain consultation before and/or after the birth, call +31 (0)20 685 38 98. The fee for a one-hour consultation is € 90.-.
