Physiotherapists: frequently asked questions

Article Questions that physiotherapists may ask themselves about the administration involved in practicing their profession.

Maternity leave for the self-employed

Maternity leave

Reimbursement As an employee, unemployed or self-employed person you are entitled to maternity leave. The arrangement varies according to your status.

How do I invoice the intake based on the regulations from 01-06-2021?

On 01-06-2021, a new regulation came into effect with the deletion of the pseudocode from the file start-up. This has been replaced by a nomenclature code for the patient's intake. File start-up/intake can only be reimbursed once per calendar year, regardless of the number of pathological situations in that calendar year. File start-up/intake can only be certified at the first session of a treatment (this does not necessarily have to be the first session of the calendar year). Example: file start-up 639855 in combination with session 560011 (and possibly allowance 562671) corresponds to performance codes 567033 (intake) and 567011 (session) in the new nomenclature. Since performance code 560011 in the new nomenclature is linked to the 10th to 18th session of a treatment, intake 567033 can only be certified in combination with performance code 567011 (1st to 9th session).

How do I invoice current and F-acute conditions based on the regulations from 01-06-2021?

On 01-06-2021, new regulations came into effect with the integration of the allowances for current and F-acute conditions in the nomenclature. The surcharges for the first 9 (current) or 20 (F-acute) sessions were abolished. The amount of these allowances is integrated into the sessions. It is no longer possible not to certify the increased fees at the first hearings. There is therefore a distinction in terms of nomenclature number and amount for: Current sessions: separate codes for the first 9 sessions of a treatment; separate codes for the 10th to 18th session of a treatment. Sessions F-acute: separate codes for the first 20 sessions of a treatment; separate codes for the 21st to 60th (or 120th) session of a treatment.
