About Private Health Services by ONVZ

ONVZ is running a pilot for a completely new service: Private Health Services by ONVZ – for the very best guidance in getting the very best health care for you.

Why Private Health Services?

When something happens to you, your partner or your children, you want to be treated by the best specialist. But how can you be sure who the best specialist is? Just like with other important decisions in life, you expect transparency and to be able to compare options in the world of health care, especially when it comes to something as important as your health. Through the Private Health Services pilot, ONVZ is investing in making information on the quality of health care more accessible and transparent. For a wide range of treatments, we will identify the best available options for you and, based on your needs and preferences, arrange access to the best specialists, treatments and programmes in the Netherlands, across Europe and beyond. This will enable you to confidently make the choices that are right for you.

With Private Health Services, you will be assigned your own permanent Private Health Advisor. This person will listen to you, make suggestions, arrange things, provide peace of mind and support you and your loved ones with all your important questions about health care and health. Are you feeling stuck in a health-care programme, looking for access to the very best health care, or do you simply want peace of mind if something unexpected happens, including abroad? If so, Private Health Services will be here for you.

Your Private Health Advisor will also help you protect and strengthen your health in a way that fully aligns with what matters most to you. Based on your preferences and goals, we will create a personal health plan. We will ensure that you have access to the right knowledge, expertise and options, and we will support you where needed to help you achieve your personal goals.

The purpose of the pilot

The pilot is in full swing. We are taking stock of the quality of health care and connecting the best partners to our service. These partners will help improve our participants’ health. The aim of the pilot is to explore where we can broaden or deepen our offering for even greater impact. We are also learning how to maximise the value of the services provided by our Private Health Advisors.

Until October 2026, we will be gathering as much experience as possible, so as to be able to offer Private Health Services as a (paid) subscription after that. We will be ready when we can provide our participants with transparency regarding the quality of health-care providers and health partners, and deliver a truly integrated approach to health care and health. Last but not least, by October, we want to be able to help our participants take steps towards achieving the best possible outcomes in strengthening their health. The aim is to deliver the very best guidance in getting you the very best health-care and health options.
