Insured Package Advisory Committee
The Insured Package Advisory Committee (ACP) advises the Executive Board of the National Health Care Institute. The advice is about reports and signals in which the National Health Care Institute advises the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) about amendments to the insured package for basic health insurance.
Social considerations
The Insured Package Advisory Committee (ACP) gives the Executive Board (RvB) of the National Health Care Institute recommendations relating to the package advice. It tests such recommendations against the four package criteria:
- effectiveness
- cost-effectiveness
- necessity
- feasibility
The ACP looks at the interests of the patients who are eligible for reimbursement of their treatments and can also consider the interests of patients with other conditions, who naturally also want the treatment for their own conditions to be reimbursable. It also looks at the interests of all those who pay premiums, so that the money that we all pay collectively is spent on the right care.
