The Netherlands

Depending on the way you are insured for costs related to the physiotherapy / posture and
exercise therapie (method Cesar / Mensendieck), there are 2 different options to cover these:

The general rule in The Netherlands is that Physiotherapy/ posture and exercise therapie (method
Cesar / Mensendieck) is not part of your (mandatory) health insurance package.
If you have an additional health insurance policy (Dutch= “aanvullende verzekering”) it is likely that
there is a budget for physiotherapy / posture and exercise therapie (method Cesar /
Mensendieck). The budget depends on the insurance company. Generally, there is a limited
amount of consultations. Check your policy to determine the number of consultations you are
entitled to use. The number of consultations is defined per calendar year.

Some health insurances are special for foreign students. Mostly you need a medical refferal letter
from a general practitioner or specialist for reimbursement. Check this by your heath insurance!

If you’re not additionally insured for physiotherapy / posture and exercise therapie (method
Cesar / Mensendieck), you have to pay the costs by yourself.
You will receive an invoice by mail every month for the treatments performed.
