Accredited Dermatologist:
Accreditation is the official guarantee that your Dermatologist continues to train throughout her or his career.
Consultations with Accredited Doctors are better reimbursed by Belgian health insurance.
Practice not bound to NIHDI / INAMI / RIZIV convention:
Conventioning status is the fact of respecting fully, in part or not, the fees suggested by the NIHDI / INAMI / RIZIV, for medical services subject to reimbursement from Belgian health insurance.
The conventioning status modifies the patient’s share of the fees. It does not modify the reimbursement share of medical services that are subject to insurance coverage.
The conventioning status does not impact non-reimbursed medical services (aesthetic or outside reimbursement criteria).
Training:
Dermatologist trained in medical, surgical and aesthetic dermatology.
Consultation by appointment only.
Some medical situations unexpectedly require more time than planned.
Therefore, the dermatologist can run late in the consultation schedule.
You will nevertheless always receive full attention when your turn comes.
Preparing your consultation ahead ensures you benefit fully from it:
Bring your identity card (or national number - for kids without an identity card).
Bring a written list of your medications.
Bring a paper copy of any medical results useful to the consultation (blood test, echography, …)
Take your disposition to arrive on time.
Late patients will have a shortened consultation, to kindly respect the next patient appointment.Come with max 2 well-circumscribed medical situations to address. Mention the most important first.
Longer lists will have to be dealt with through several appointments.Wear easy clothing, if removal is required - allowing more time for your consultation.
If you need a document from the Dermatologist, do mention it during the consultation.
(presence attestation, filling of insurance-specific documents, …)
Payment options:
Cash, phone bank transfer (bank app)
If a lesion removal is required:
In case of surgery, the lesion will be sent to an external laboratory for analysis. (Histological analysis +/- immunostaining)
The Lab will send you an invoice for its service (+ possibly a second invoice later if immunostaining is required).
Your insurance covers most of this cost.
