Healthcare contracting

Healthcare costs continue to rise and the government is taking targeted action to control costs, which increasingly takes place via parties such as health insurers, healthcare procurement firms and municipalities. We are seeing costs being less and less often controlled by way of price regulation and the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa), but increasingly via healthcare contracting by health insurers, healthcare procurement firms and municipalities.

Our approach

Our healthcare lawyers have years of specialist experience and knowledge in the field of healthcare contracting, pricing, budget and claim regulation and insured claims. They understand both sides of the scales: on the one hand the need for growth, and on the other the importance of cost control, with the common denominator being the patient's/client's interest in good care. Within these dynamics, they are happy to help you find practical solutions to often complex problems.
