Health insurance reimbursement

If you have a referral from your GP (for transgender patients a referral from your gender therapist will suffice) you can approach your health insurance company. The referral must clearly mention which area requires hair removal. Generally speaking, hair removal through laser/IPL and electric treatments are only reimbursed for the face.

We are a member of the society for beauticians ANBOS registered under number 22834 under the specialisation of HAIR REMOVAL (ONTHARINGSTECHNIEKEN) and electric epilation (ELECTRISCH EPILEREN) with AGB code 89-003474.

Since the rules and regulations frequently change, it is best to contact your health insurance company. For an independent overview of health care providers you can consult the following website: www.zorgkiezer.nl

Or consult this PDF with an ANBOS overview and healthcare providers and there conditions for reimbursement in 2022.

Tax deduction of medical expenses

In the Netherlands, there is no one clear rule regarding the deduction of special medical expenses from your taxes. Each cause is viewed separately by your regional tax authorities. Please contact your local tax adviser.
