If you do not have collective health insurance via TU Delft
Ask your own health insurance provider which suppliers of stop-smoking services they have contracted in.
Important to know
- If the practitioner does not have a contract with the health insurance company, the reimbursement may be lower.
- Excess
There are differences between health insurance providers as to whether a stop-smoking programme affects your excess. For Zilveren Kruis and Ohra, at any rate, there is no excess if you follow a programme with a contracted insurance provider. If you have a different health insurance provider, please check your insurance provider’s website. - Referral
To follow a stop-smoking programme, you need a doctor’s referral. You can approach you own GP for this, a midwife, medical specialist or TU Delft’s university health services doctor. Obviously, only staff can approach the university health services doctor. - Nicotine replacement drugs are only reimbursed if prescribed in the stop-smoking programme.
