Figure 5.28 details the total RIZIV/INAMI expenditures for the years 2000 to 2004. As
the focus of this report is on musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation, only those
expenditures that are relevant for the analysis are detailed. The pie charts give an
overview of the percentage shares of the following expenditures clusters (for the year
2000 and 2004):
• Other expenses: total for all other expenditures (e.g. medicines, etc.)
• Honoraria: total of all medical honoraria
• Rehabilitation: sum of K-nomenclature and Convention expenditures
• K-nomenclature: all therapeutic expenditures
• Convention: all therapeutic expenditures (9.50 & 7.71); and NMRC
expenditures (7892)
• M-nomenclature: all expenditures (hospitalized and ambulantory)
The first conclusion based on this analysis is the relatively small proportion of
musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation in the total health care budget: 0.38 in
2000 and 0.49 % in 2004. Furthermore, the growth in absolute figures (M€31) for
rehabilitation expenditures is small as compared to the growth of all medical honoraria
(M€879). However, the relative increase is higher with 59% for rehabilitation against 26
% for the whole budget. Furthermore the expenditures in the M-nomenclature have
stagnated in the period 2000-2004.
