Physiotherapy rates under the INAMI convention
I work under the INAMI convention. That means I apply the official rates with no supplement, and you are reimbursed at the standard level by your health insurance fund.
What you pay yourself
This table is indicative: the amount varies with the type of condition (routine, acute, severe, Fa, Fb).
| Session | Your share | With BIM status |
|---|---|---|
| At the practice | 6,25 € | 2,50 € |
| At your home | 7,26 € | 3,51 € |
At your home, 1,01 € of travel cost is added to your share. INAMI covers the rest of the journey.
How many sessions
The number of sessions is set by your prescription and depends on the condition. After surgery, a joint replacement or a cruciate ligament, it is often 60. For something routine such as neck pain, low back pain or a sprain, it is 9 to 18, and you can be covered for at most three routine conditions a year. Conditions classed as severe allow for more.
When the prescription runs out and you are better, there is nothing to do: you are not obliged to go back to your doctor. If you are not better, go back. They can renew the prescription so treatment continues.
Why it matters
With a physiotherapist outside the convention, INAMI reimburses roughly 25% less, and a supplement may be added on top. For the same session, the patient pays noticeably more.
What you pay, and when
I work with or without tiers payant, whichever you prefer. With it, you pay only your share at the end of the session and I invoice the balance to your mutuelle. Without it, you pay for the session and your mutuelle reimburses you afterwards. Either way you need to be covered by a mutuelle: without one the session is entirely at your own cost and nothing is reimbursed.
