Medical Justification for CIZ Indication for Intensive Care

A successful CIZ indication for Intensive Care (IZ) depends on robust medical justification. The CIZ applies the Care Severity Packages (ZZP) and assesses the need for 24-hour care based on WLZ criteria. Submit reports from paediatricians, psychologists, and therapists detailing the diagnosis, limitations in activities of daily living (ADL), and required care hours. Use the CIZ indication criterion: structural, intensive support due to illness or disability. Avoid vague descriptions; quantify care (e.g., '6 hours/day tube feeding'). Request a general practitioner’s statement to demonstrate urgency. In case of rejection: gather counter-expertise. Article 41 of the Social Support Act (Wwb) requires that care cannot be provided in a regular manner. Parents with IZ receive €1,300 net per month. Reassessment after 2 years is mandatory. Legal tip: Involve an independent medical advisor early to strengthen your dossier.
