    Dutch Health Minister Edith Schippers to keep an eye on dentist price reform
    Minister Edith Schippers (Public Health) follows closely an experiment related to the free dental care pricing after previously the prices have been regulated by the government. She finds it premature to draw conclusions just three days after the start of the test, a Minitry spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

    On Tuesday health insurer VGZ signaled that it will be considerably more expensive to fill a cavity or treat a tooth nerve if the dentists are allowed to set the prices by themselves. VGZ analyzed the pricing records from 200 to 8000 dentists after patient organizations NPCF raised signals over the alleged price increases.

    According to VGZ the price/visit would be on average 10 percent higher as of January 1, 2012. In some case, the treatment was even 30 percent more expensive than last year. The NPCF will ask people about their experiences, because the organization said is not possible to check out a dentist in respect to the quality aspects such as hygiene, number of patients with cavities and crowns lifetime. Furthermore due to the fact that the treatment prices are generally unknown, it is impossible to make a real evaluation.

    The destistry association NMT says that the dentists provide insufficient information and points out that care authority NZA should keep a close eye on that. “We should not forget for what purpose the experiment was carried out. The market for dentists was locked and the old system is not good anymore,” said the spokeswoman. “Now dentists have enough room for innovation. It is up to the patients to choose which dentist is good for them.”

    In the Tweede Kamer (Parliament’s 2nd House) the opposition parties SP and PvdA see this situation with suspicion. They fear that the patient revealed higher bills and now want Schippers to intervene. The Ministry of Health indicates that according to Schippers’ earlier ruling, the experiment can be stopped if the prices show a steep rise.
