Perfect, I'm also in the NL and was hoping someone would have more information. I totally believe the GP being condescending about it, they are trained as gatekeepers to medical care to reduce costs to the system (wife is a doctor). It is also unimaginable to them, for whatever reason, that people would pay for things out of pocket.

Haha, yeah, don't get me started. My other recommendations along these lines for people who don't want to argue with their GP about which blood tests "make sense" is https://onedayclinic.nl/. Their pricing is somewhat confusing but you can just email them everything you'd like to measure and they'll make you a (reasonable) offer.
