Physiotherapists

As a physiotherapist, how do you correctly apply the nomenclature?

A medical prescription is mandatory to carry out treatment and reimburse reimbursable benefits in kind.

Reimbursement is possible for certain conditions as an F-acute condition.

For certain conditions, reimbursement of physiotherapy treatments is possible as an F-chronic condition.

You can perform a consultative physiotherapy examination before a treatment is prescribed.

This concerns benefits in kind included in art. 7, §1, 1° of the nomenclature. The application rules are in art. 7, §10.

If you treat a patient staying in a rest home for the elderly (ROB), you must use specific dispensing codes.

Treatments for a palliative home patient that you carry out at the patient's home are fully reimbursed.

You can only charge for perinatal physiotherapy if it was prescribed in preparation for a birth or in the context of postnatal rehabilitation.

For the treatment of serious conditions, patients are reimbursed for more sessions and pay less co-payment.

The written report concerns the implementation of the treatment and the results achieved.
