GDS version 2.0
The rollout of Generieke Declaratie Standaard (GDS) version 2.0 has been postponed until January 1, 2025. However, we have proactively ensured our systems are fully compliant with the upcoming standard well in advance.
The key changes and impacts on claims:
The distinction between left/right/both has been incorporated where relevant for conditions, providing clearer treatment documentation.
It is now explicitly clear which sessions (performances) belong together, which is crucial for patients with Zvw entitlement and treatment financing.
For patients with Zvw entitlement, the administration of the first 20 treatments has been streamlined. Patients will receive a secure email (or printed version) detailing the number of treatments performed, which practices can use to verify previous treatments.
Claims for patients with foreign health insurance are now automated, simplifying the process.
The AGB code of the "actual care provider" will always be included on the invoice, with exceptions only for trainees or incidental replacements.
The CSI code list has been renamed to 'Aanspraakcodelijst', with one substantive change: treatments for children can now be claimed under CSI code 003. CSI codes 004 to 007 have been removed as they are no longer needed for determining entitlement.
Each type of care now has its own performance code list. For physiotherapy, the list is PerformanceCodeList (PCL) 073, and for GLI, fall prevention, and innovations, it’s PCL GLI 079. Specific agreements with insurers will use codes from the Other Code List 081. Note that these performance code lists have not yet been published but will follow soon
The lead caregiver can now be recorded in a dedicated field (previously only possible under "referrer"), with an additional field indicating GZSP patients. This change aims to ensure invoices for GZSP patients are processed correctly and efficiently.
We are ready for the transition to GDS version 2.0 and will continue to support your practice with these updates to improve your administrative and financial workflows.
