Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I sometimes pay the hospital deductible multiple times?

A hospital bills its costs for a course of treatment or care all at once. This is called a Diagnosis Treatment Combination (DBC). When you go to the hospital for treatment, a DBC is opened. From that moment on, all costs are added together. The first DBC lasts a maximum of 90 days.

If your treatment lasts longer or you remain under observation, the hospital will open a follow-up DBC. The start date of the follow-up DBC follows directly on the end date of the previous DBC. A follow-up DBC lasts a maximum of 120 days. Such a DBC can therefore remain open for 120 days. After surgery, the DBC may remain open for a maximum of 42 days. After a maximum of 120 days, the DBC is closed and the healthcare provider can bill for the care.

If the treatment lasts longer than these periods, a new (follow-up) DBC is then opened. The treatment can therefore contain multiple DBCs. This process repeats every 120 days, as long as you are receiving treatment.

You pay a deductible for each DBC. The government has established how hospital care costs may be charged. If you have not been hospitalized for a certain period, you will naturally not receive a bill for this. The DBC's opening date determines the year for which the deductible is charged. If the DBC continues into the following year, you only pay the deductible once. This is in the calendar year in which the DBC was opened.

After paying your deductible for a DBC, you may still have a deductible remaining for that same year. This outstanding deductible amount can be charged for a subsequent DBC if it is opened in the same year. It is also possible that a subsequent DBC is opened in a new calendar year. In that case, the deductible for the new year will be charged. Your healthcare provider often knows if and when a subsequent DBC will be opened. Ask your healthcare provider when this happens.

Do I need to report a change of address? If you move, it is important that you report your change of address to the municipality. The municipality automatically notifies us of the change of address, so you do not need to inform us.

Note: Are you a DSW policyholder but not insured with us? If so, we would appreciate it if you could inform us of your new address. You can provide us with your new address details via our contact form.
