Psychologist with ydernummer

771 psychologists match on FindPsyk

A psychologist with a ydernummer has an agreement with the Danish public health insurance. With a referral from your GP, the public scheme pays a fixed share of the fee and you only pay the remainder yourself. A referral covers up to 12 sessions as a rule, and for several of the recognised referral reasons your GP can renew it so the course of therapy can continue. You can still see a psychologist with a ydernummer without a referral, but then you pay the full price. Ydernumre are allocated by region and are far fewer than the number of authorised psychologists, which is why the waiting time is usually longer than with a psychologist without one. It pays to contact several at a time, ask about cancellation lists and find out when the next slot is. Below are the psychologists on FindPsyk who hold a ydernummer — with specialty, waiting time, price and contact details, so you can compare before you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ydernummer?

A ydernummer is an agreement between the psychologist and the Danish public health insurance. It lets the psychologist treat clients with a public subsidy — and lets you pay a lower share yourself, once you have a referral from your GP.

Do I need a referral to use the subsidy?

Yes. The subsidy is triggered by a referral from your own GP under one of the recognised referral reasons. Without a referral you can still book an appointment, but you pay the full price.

How many sessions does a referral cover?

A referral covers up to 12 sessions as a rule. For several of the referral reasons your GP can renew it so you can continue.

Why are waiting times longer with a ydernummer?

There are far fewer ydernumre than psychologists, and demand for subsidised treatment is high. If you want to start sooner, compare waiting times across psychologists or choose one without a ydernummer.
