What?
The medical interventions are central to this programme. The doctor coordinates and supervises all the required (medical-technical) examinations and interventions.
There is no standard support provided by the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team in this treatment programme, but this can be discussed if there is an indication to do so.
Financial?
Both the charging of the costs for the hospitalisation and those for medication and other interventions take place in accordance with the applicable RIZIV regulations.
