Euromut welcomes you to Belgium!
Belgium is a very attractive country for students!

Belgium as adventurous and
educational as possible, but live it
the safe way by making sure that

It is important to register in a national health
insurance even if you have an international
private insurance!Why?
Private insurance takes time to reimburse
Hospitalization costs are high and must be paid
directly to hospital without a SIS card (proof of
national health coverage)
Paying such a bill up front is often unmanageable
for students

In Belgium, doctors can be committed or not (conventionné/non-conventionné):
• A committed doctor will respect the legal fee
• A non-committed doctor may ask supplements
If your doctor is non-committed, price at your charge will
be higher.
The best way to know if a doctor is committed or not,
is to ask him/her.

Show your SIS card when going to buy some
medicines and when going to hospital.
Thanks to your SIS card, you will just pay
the remainder fee. The part paid by your health
insurance will be directly deducted from the bill.
