Myoelectric and bionic arm prostheses are a powerful solution for people with arm amputations. They combine advanced technology with natural-looking movements controlled by muscle impulses. The cost and reimbursement of these prostheses vary by country and insurer.
At Amputee Care Center, we believe that everyone has the right to a high-quality, functional arm prosthesis, without financial worries. Thanks to close cooperation with mutual health organisations and insurers, full reimbursement is possible in many cases for both myo-electric and bionic prostheses, such as the innovative Hero Arm.
Our specialised team accompanies you every step of the way: from prescription to application, and from collecting medical documents to reimbursement. You focus on the choice arm prosthesis that best suits your lifestyle, we take care of the rest.

Without the intervention of an insurer or mutual society, the price is between €30,000 and €70,000 or more, depending on:
For a personalised price estimate, you can always visit our certified prosthesis centre, where we work with top brands such as Ottobock, Össur, Open Bionics and Proteor.
The Hero Arm from Open Bionics is one of the most affordable bionic arms on the market. In Belgium, this bionic arm is often fully reimbursed by the national health service. So you don't have to pay extra. In the Netherlands, reimbursement depends on your insurance. The Amputee Care Centre is a recognised and authorised supplier of bionic arm prostheses.
In Belgium, even our most advanced arm prostheses are often fully reimbursed by the health insurance, including adjustments, training and follow-up. We are a certified supplier of leading brands such as Ottobock, Össur, Open Bionics and Proteor, which guarantees top quality and security.
The health insurance fund assesses and approves the reimbursement. In addition, the prosthesis wearer must undergo tests to evaluate whether he or she can handle a myo-electric or bionic arm prosthesis. These tests are carried out at a recognised rehabilitation centre, such as rehabilitation centre Geel, Valida Brussels, and others. We will guide you through the testing and apply for approval.

We also offer a complete range of arm prostheses in the Netherlands. Reimbursement is through the basic insurance, but the exact coverage depends on your insurer.
Obtaining a myo-arm prosthesis in the Netherlands can be a challenging process, especially since we have to deal with different types of healthcare policies and contracts with health insurers. The Dutch department of the Amputee Care Center by Spronken will be happy to guide you through the application for reimbursement or authorisation.
If your health insurer has a contract with Spronken Orthopaedics in the Netherlands, the company behind the Amputee Care Center, an SEHM-approved prosthetic supplier, this means that agreements have been made regarding the delivery and reimbursement of your prosthesis.
What does this mean for you?
A Dutch doctor-specialist, such as a rehabilitation doctor, will prepare a prescription for you. You can come directly to us with this prescription. Make an appointment with the Amputee Care Center. We will take care of (most of) the administration and arrange further communication with your health insurer.
Benefits:
Does your health insurer have no contract with Spronken Orthopaedics in the Netherlands? Then it is important to know that this may affect reimbursement and the process.
Reputable orthopaedic companies, such as Spronken Orthopaedics, choose not to enter into a contract with certain health insurers because we want to continue offering our customised care without compromising on quality. Reimbursements often do not cover the cost of high-quality, innovative prosthetic solutions such as myoelekric and bionic arm prostheses.
By working without a contract, we retain the freedom to make the best choice together with the patient, tailored to each person's unique situation. This decision stems from a deep-seated commitment to people-centred, personalised care.
What does this mean for you?
You should ask your health insurer for permission in advance. The Amputee Care Center team will help you with this. You can request permission by submitting the medical prescription from your doctor and a quotation (costs of your arm prosthesis) drawn up by us, Amputee Care Center of Spronken Orthopaedics in the Netherlands, to your health insurer.
You should note that the reimbursement for non-contracted care is sometimes lower. This may mean that you may have to pay part of the costs yourself.
Many Dutch people have a restitution policy. This policy gives you the freedom to choose your own healthcare provider. You then choose a recognised, SEMH-approved, prosthetic centre (such as Spronken), regardless of whether it has a contract with your insurer. This is a great option! It gives you the chance to look for a prosthetist and prosthetic centre that suits you best yourself.
What does this mean for you?
You choose your own prosthetic supplier or prosthetist. You have the freedom to consult different orthopaedic consultant prosthetists. It is best to make an appointment for a free second opinion consultation at an SEHM approved supplier, such as the Amputee Care Center by Spronken.
After the consultation at our specialised prosthetics centre, you will receive a detailed price quote. Depending on your insurer, it is best to obtain prior authorisation, especially for more expensive or special prostheses.
Whether you are insured in Belgium or the Netherlands: a functional, myo-arm prosthesis controlled electrically or electronically by your own muscles must be financially feasible and affordable. At Amputee Care Center, we combine 60 years of experience, a team of experts, modern technology, personal care and commitment.
