Exercise By Referral
Do you want to exercise more, but don't know how? Your GP, nurse or paramedic can refer you to an Exercise By Referral coach.
The exercise coach will draw up an exercise plan with you, adapted to your health. He doesn't join you during exercising, but he does help you along the way and motivates you.
The Flemish government reimburses most costs directly to the coach. You pay a limited contribution yourself. This personal share varies depending on whether you have supplemented refunds (VT) and whether you receive individual or group guidance. From 2025 you can also request reimbursement of the personal share of your guidance program via the CM benefit sports club.*
* Subject to approval by the Health Insurance Fund Control Service.
- individual guidance 5 euros;
- group guidance 1 euro.
Are you entitled to increased compensation ? Then this is the maximum personal share per quarter of an hour:
- individual guidance 1 euro;
- group guidance 0.50 euros.
You receive 84 points per year for 'exercise on referral' for a maximum of two calendar years. Each time you receive guidance, points are deducted:
- three points per fifteen minutes for personal guidance;
- one point per fifteen minutes for group guidance.
