Chain approach for overweight and obese children

The chain approach, or combined lifestyle intervention for children, a tailor-made care programme, focused on a healthy diet, more exercise and, if necessary, psychological help. The tailor-made care programme consists of individual sessions and has a treatment phase and a maintenance phase. The care programme lasts 24 consecutive months (2 years).

If the insured is younger than 18, they are entitled to:

  • a broad anamnesis by the central care provider (the point of contact for the child and its family).
  • support and coordination of the right care and support at the right time by the right professional for the child and family by the central care provider. In that case, combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) for children must form part of the action plan. The action plan must demonstrate that the insured party is dependent on GLI for children.
  • combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) for children. The insured party must have at least a moderately increased weight-related health risk (GGR) according to the indication criteria from the NHG Guidelines for Obesity and the Addendum for children to the Obesity Care Standard.

The insured is entitled to the care programmes on the List of designated care programmes of GLI for children. This list may change in the interim.
