Psychodiagnostic test studies

Out of understanding the time and financial investment and each individual's situation, completing the test is not an obstacle to receiving reimbursement. If canceling the test early impacts the amount paid, and therefore results in a difference in reimbursement, this must be reported to your health insurance fund. Reimbursement amounts to 35% of the cost up to €350 (members with VT are entitled to 50% up to €500).

Only if the intelligence assessment is part of a broader research project on a developmental disorder. A separate intelligence assessment conducted without the support of a research project is not reimbursed.

The requirement is that the test be performed in response to a suspected developmental disorder. The final results of the diagnostic test will not impact our reimbursement.

In March 2025, the Kwaliteitscentrum Diagnostiek published the Autism Diagnosis Guideline. This guideline states that an autism diagnosis should not be made on a monodisciplinary basis. It recommends that both a psychological or educational discipline (such as a clinical psychologist or clinical educational psychologist) and a medical discipline ((child and adolescent) psychiatrist, (child) neurologist, or neuropediatrician) be involved in the diagnostic process. This multidisciplinary approach is also applied to the requirements of the CM benefit.
