List of medical procedures reimbursed with restrictions updated for 2026 in the Netherlands

On January 2, 2026, the Dutch Healthcare Institute (ZIN) published the updated list of medical procedures reimbursed under basic health insurance with restrictions or limitations. The procedures have the so-called "claim" codes (aanspraakcodes). The Dutch Healthcare Authority assigns the "claim" codes based on positions published by the ZIN. The implemented changes included the introduction of two procedure codes. All other changes are structural, editorial, or classificatory, with no impact on entitlements.

Two procedure codes 191179 ”Cryopreservation or thawing of own ovarian tissue for own use for a medical indication, including intake (optional) and examination” and 191180 “Storage of frozen own ovarian tissue for own use for a medical indication, per year” were included in the list with “claim” code 2605 “Fertility treatment.”
