The Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit (NZa) is a public regulatory authority overseeing pricing and compliance in the Dutch health care system. It sets tariffs for most health care treatments, while certain prices are established directly by the NZa, such as care in institutions for older people or people with disabilities and visits to the GP or dentist. The organization is based in Utrecht and employs several hundred staff. As a regulator, NZa monitors whether care providers and insurers comply with the relevant laws and rules through analyses and consumer reports, and it can intervene when consumer interests are at stake. It also advises the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports on potential improvements to health policy; in September 2023, NZa published the second DRG package release for 2024 covering specialist medical care and geriatric rehabilitation.
