Medical Underpinning for CIZ Indication for Intensive Care in Rotterdam

In Rotterdam, a successful CIZ indication for Intensive Care (IZ) is crucial for families with care-intensive children, dependent on solid medical underpinning. The CIZ applies the Care Intensity Packages (ZZP) and evaluates the 24-hour care needs according to WLZ criteria, with additional attention to Rotterdam facilities such as the Practical Training Route of Erasmus MC. Provide detailed reports from paediatricians at Sophia Children's Hospital, psychologists from Mondriaan, and therapists from Rivas Zorggroep, including diagnosis, ADL limitations, and exact care hours. Meet the CIZ criterion: structural, intensive supervision due to illness or disability. Avoid general terms; quantify concretely, such as '7 hours/day tube feeding via NG tube' or 'continuous ventilation support'. Request a general practitioner's statement from a Rotterdam GP practice for urgent necessity. In case of rejection by the CIZ office in Rotterdam: engage counter-expertise via local specialists. Wwb art. 41 requires that care cannot be provided via regular Rotterdam youth care or PGBs. Parents with IZ indication receive €1,300 net per month, with re-indication after 2 years. Legal tip for Rotterdam: involve an independent medical advisor from the Association of Parents of Care-Intensive Children (VOZK) Rotterdam early for watertight files and faster processing via the municipality.
