Weight loss support

Are you overweight and looking to lose weight? Our practice nurses can provide guidance and support.

We only provide guidance to patients using the weight-loss medication liraglutide (including Saxenda). Reimbursement for this is subject to strict conditions set by health insurers. You must meet the following criteria:

- have completed a one-year combined lifestyle intervention program

- be actively participating in the combined lifestyle intervention program

- have a BMI of 35 or higher combined with a weight-related health condition, or a BMI of 40 or higher.

Additional conditions apply; you can review them at https://www.zn.nl/znform/vragen-en-antwoorden-vergoeding-farmacotherapie-in-de-behandeling-van-overgewicht-en-obesitas/

We do not provide guidance on the use of other medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. These medications are not reimbursed by health insurance when used for weight loss.

If you have any questions, you can send an e-consult via MijnGezondheid.net. You are also welcome to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss options for weight loss support. Please call the assistants to schedule an appointment.
