KCE reports 57 Musculoskeletal & Neurological Rehabilitation 99
Figure 5.29 shows the expenditures (2000-2004) for the rehabilitation activities in K
nomenclature q , convention 9.50 and convention 7.71. K-nomenclature mops up the
largest part of the budget. This seems logical because K can be applied in every
department of PM&R, and before August 2004 also by physicians of other specialties
with the supplementary specialisation in rehabilitation medicine, and thus the access is
much wider than to conventions. Also, the fee for K60 was until August 2006 higher
than for 9.50 (A2 and A2bis), which implies that most of the 9.50 centres first “used” Knomenclature,
and then only switched to convention. We presume that the proportion
K/9.50 will now substantially change as 9.50 centres can no longer apply K30/60 for the
concerned pathologies.
The expenditures for mono-disciplinary physical therapy (M-Nomenclature: monodisciplinary
physical therapy without supervision of a specialist in physical medicine and
rehabilitation) and speech therapy (R-Nomenclature: same mono-disciplinary setting)
are listed separately below in
q K-nomenclature is underestimated for 2004 due to newly introduced nomenclature codes, for more
