This report describes the benefits and entitlements in Dutch health care, and how these are defined. This report has been prepared by the institute for Health Policy and Management of Erasmus MC in Rotterdam as part of Work Package II of the EU funded research project “HealthBASKET” (full title: Health Benefits and Service Costs in Europe, contract no. FP6 501588). The purpose of HealthBASKET is to provide the scientific underpinning that will allow policy makers both at national and European levels to make informed decisions concerning the free movement of patients from one Member State to another. This is done for two reasons. First, if patients are to benefit from the EU internal market they need to know what services are offered elsewhere, and at what costs. Second, if governments are to manage the risk that patient movements undermine the financial balance within national health care systems, they also require this information. In the HealthBASKET project, nine EU member states therefore provide a description of national health benefits, as well as costs and prices of these services.
