Koen Mous has worked as a lawyer in the Health Law group of our Nijmegen department since 2003. He specialises in legal services in the field of healthcare and delivers training courses regarding legal issues in the healthcare sector on a regular basis. Koen's practice primarily revolves around civil-law matters and his focus areas include medical liability and medical disciplinary law, procurement of healthcare services and healthcare contracts, the relationship between healthcare providers and healthcare insurers, and the organisation of specialist medical care in hospitals. In recent years, proceedings conducted by Koen against healthcare insurers in relation to the free choice of doctor (Section 13 of the Dutch Healthcare Insurance Act), the prohibition of assignment and the authorisation requirement received a great deal of attention nationwide. These proceedings resulted in groundbreaking judgments and rulings, reinforcing the position of healthcare providers.
As in previous years, in 2023 Dirkzwager has again been listed in the prestigious Chambers Europe Guide, the European guide issued by the research organisation, Chambers and Partners. Based on an objective study and interviews with clients and peers, every year Chambers and Partners draws up a list of key departments and lawyers in each field of law.
