As a doctor you connect our members, healthcare and the RIZIV

You are a doctor through and through. You are an advisor and confidant for our members. And you help keep social security afloat. So you are a pivotal figure between our members, healthcare and the RIZIV. What you do has an impact.

You are surrounded by a team. Fellow experts, such as physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists and occupational therapists, give you insights to build on. This multidisciplinary approach is enriching and leads to better member guidance, better distribution of the workload and more satisfaction.

You're in control. As a consulting physician you are completely independent in your judgment. You determine the balance between medical checks (on site or remotely), internal consultation, administration, discussions with treating physicians and continuous training. Your job allows you to coordinate your work and private life.

You use your knowledge and continue to learn. With your expertise, you monitor our members and assess their right to a replacement income. You regularly train in all areas involved: from medicine to social legislation. This way, no evolution escapes your attention.

Build on the expertise of general practitioners and specialists

The attending physician prescribes treatments or declares a patient incapacitated for work. You will then further assess the file from the perspective of insurance medicine.

  • You ensure that medicines and treatments are reimbursed correctly.
  • You check whether an incapacitated patient is entitled to a reimbursement and/or a replacement income.
  • You guide members who:
    • seeking optimal treatment through Belgian health insurance;
    • returning to work after a long absence (reintegration);
    • want to take a new path professionally that is in line with their health (vocational retraining).

What does your day look like as a consulting physician?

These tasks are among your responsibilities as an advisory physician at CM:

  • Medical check-up and advice
    You monitor the health status of members with various pathologies. And you give them advice about repayments and replacement income. This way you ensure that social security resources go to the people who need them.
     
  • Individual guidance
    You give people perspective again. For example, you support someone who can start working part-time again after a full year of illness. Others have to look for other work for medical reasons. You also guide and advise those members.
     
  • Regular consultation
    You exchange knowledge and discuss complex files with your multidisciplinary team. This way you can provide even better support to disabled members. You have regular contact with general practitioners and specialists.
     
  • Clear administration
    You write reports in which you justify your decisions. To process all files properly, you work together with your colleagues from the administration.
     
  • Continuous further training
    You keep up with social legislation and medical developments. This way you participate in symposia and further training. You also follow all developments through the trade press.
