Third party payment arrangement: invoicing on paper
As a general practitioner, you can opt for paper invoicing under the third-party payment scheme, but only in certain exceptional cases.
Mandatory electronic invoicing for general practitioners, specialist physicians, and dentists has been in effect since September 1, 2025. Third-party payment on paper is therefore only possible if one of the exceptions to the electronic invoicing requirement applies.
For correct billing, you can consult the rates via MyCareNet when contacting your patient. For this you must have recognized IT software .
What should you do?
- Deliver your Unique Contact Point (UCP) by post or via the CM mailboxes (attn. accounting department):
- your certificates for assistance provided;
- a summary statement stating the number of added certificates, your account number and Riziv number.
- Sorting based on the connection number is no longer necessary. You can send all certificates of all CM members to your UCP in the same shipment .
Important
- If necessary, you will receive an overview from CM with comments and/or corrections .
- Payment is made within thirty days (two months for specialist doctors), starting from receipt of the certificates and the summary statement.
- If you wish, you can request new yellow CM covers.
- As a specialist, you can find information about the third-party payment scheme on the Riziv website .
