Payment

We advise contactless transactions.

Most credit and debit cards can work contactless. As medical fees will be over 50 euros, you will still have to type your code on the terminal.

These payment methods cover consultations and the pre-operative assessment. Refractive surgery fees are settled by bank transfer only, before the procedure.

If you use an app using Apple Pay or Google Pay with your smartphone or smartwatch, you will be able to confirm the transaction on this device.

Our doctors are not linked to the national convention. That means that we do not follow the medical fees fixed by the medico-mutualist convention.

Fee supplements accounts usually for 50% on most frequent procedures. Some technical procedure are partly covered by the social insurance, depending on its type, time between two exams or your social status. All procedures performed are encoded under their INAMI nomenclature codes. Whenever possible, the care certificate is sent electronically to your health insurance fund and the reimbursement reaches you without any step on your part. Otherwise, a paper care certificate listing every code is handed to you, and you send it to your fund to obtain the reimbursement. Procedures that are not listed in the nomenclature are encoded on the same care certificate, as pseudo-codes. They are not covered by the compulsory health insurance. This is the case, for example, for the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome on the Lacrydiag platform.

For a routine consultation, depending on exams to perform, plan for medical fees between 63 to 160 euros.

Cataract surgery is the most frequent procedure done in ophthalmology. All preop and postop exams are done at our center. Those exams are mostly covered by the social insurance.

The surgical procedure is done at the Delta Hospital (CHIREC). Fee supplements accounts for 160%. You also may have to account for the eventual cost of intraocular lenses not covered by the social insurance like multifocal lenses. However, many additional insurances cover those fees. You can contact the administrative service from the hospital on the phone 02/434.40.41 to get a personal appointment to evaluate what fees are covered. You will receive a final bill about 15 days to a month after surgery.

Refractive surgery is not listed in the INAMI nomenclature and is not covered by the compulsory health insurance. Surgical fees are settled before the procedure. Some health insurance funds grant an allowance under their complementary insurance: its amount and its conditions vary from one fund to another and from one year to the next, so please check with yours.

The detail of the fees, what each amount covers, the cost of the pre-operative assessment and of the follow-up and the total expected amount are set out on the refractive surgery prices and fees page.
