How does an acupuncture treatment work... ...and what are the costs involved?

Praktijk Acupunctuur represents a team of acupuncturists working at 6 locations in the Randstad area. With our different backgrounds and specializations, we bring a lot of knowledge and experience. Our acupuncturists are individually registered with a professional association. The profile page of each acupuncturist states which association this is.

Acupuncture Treatment

The treatment lasts 45-60 minutes. First, you will discuss your complaints and health status with the acupuncturist and why you have come. Then your pulse will be felt and your tongue examined. These are two diagnostic tools used in Chinese Medicine. Based on the personal diagnosis of your complaints, the acupuncturist will place a number of very small needles scattered throughout your body. After that, you are allowed to relax or sleep for 30 minutes.

What can you expect?


The initial consultation

Is acupuncture covered by your health insurance?

Acupuncture is (partially) reimbursed from the supplementary insurance. This means that you do not have to pay a deductible. If you are additionally insured, check beforehand with your health insurer how much you get reimbursed per treatment and your maximum reimbursement per year.

Our acupuncturists are individually registered with a professional association such as the NVA, Zhong or NWP, and through them with the umbrella organisation KAB. The profile page of your acupuncturist states which association applies.

Reimbursement by your health insurer is based on this personal registration. Here you will find an overview of all reimbursements from health insurers for acupuncture treatments.
