Information about referrals

On this page you will find information about the differences between insured and uninsured care regarding plastic surgery procedures in the province of Limburg. As we regularly receive questions from family physicians about which patients can be treated where, we’d like to explain this. We understand that it’s not always clear when a patient is eligible for insured care, and when it’s a purely uninsured issue. By providing clarity, we can collectively avoid “the red tape” whenever possible, and get the patient to the right place without delay. We’re always willing to work together, should there be any ambiguity.

When is a referral letter required?

MOOI plastic surgeons form a regional partnership of plastic surgeons who provide insured care in hospitals across Limburg, and who offer uninsured care at MOOI clinic. At MOOI clinic, treatments performed are mainly of aesthetic nature such as: eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, facelifts and abdominoplasty. All treatments performed at MOOI Clinic do not require a referral letter from the family doctor. These treatments are also never reimbursed by health insurance companies.

In some cases however, the patient does qualify (in part) for health insurance reimbursement. For example, when there is a medical need, necessity or trauma. In that case , a referral letter is required. The patient should report to the hospital. MOOI plastic surgeons offer the unique opportunity to be helped by the same doctor, either at MOOI clinic or by our cooperating hospitals. Our surgeons also work at Zuyderland, MUMC+, VieCuri and Laurentius hospitals.

Is the patient expecting to be (partially) eligible for insured hospital care? Then the initial consultation must take place at the hospital and a referral is necessary.
