Financial aspects

1. What is not covered by your mutual or other insurance company 

• A personal contribution set by the Ministry of Public Health and the INAMI/RIZIV (Federal Institute for Public Health Insurance);
• Non-reimbursable pharmaceutical specialities;
• Certain supplies (prostheses for example) that are reimbursable in part or not at all;
• Certain non-reimbursable services;
• Possible costs of ambulance or other transport;

2. Staying the night with your child during his or her hospitalisation  

On making a financial contribution you can stay the night with your child provided there are no medical contra-indications.   

3. A provision to cover a part of the non-reimbursed hospitalisation costs   

This amount, as stipulated by law, must be paid on the day your child is admitted to hospital.   

This amount is calculated to take account of:  

• The time your child is likely to remain in hospital;
• Your status (mutual insurance cover) 

This provision will of course be deducted from your final bill.   

4. Cost of a single room  

If you have opted for a private room, there is no additional charge for the room, however, additional medical fees will be charged. Please note that HUDERF caps the percentage of additional fees charged at 200%.
