3.1.5 Classifications<br />

3.1.5.1 Classification of care consumption in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine and<br />

physiotherapy<br />

The acts of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine are classified by the type of<br />

interv<strong>en</strong>tion. The acts of physiotherapy are classified by the kind of disease.<br />

These classifications are conditioned by the respective configurations of "the<br />

nom<strong>en</strong>clature", insofar as nom<strong>en</strong>clature is in effect betwe<strong>en</strong> 2003 and 2005.<br />

1. The classification for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine is:<br />

o standard sessions K20 or K15, according to the number of sessions<br />

already completed (e.g., K15 sessions starting with the 19th session);<br />

o mono-disciplinary sessions K30;<br />

o multi-disciplinary sessions lasting 60 minutes (K30), multi-disciplinary<br />

sessions lasting 120 minutes (K60);<br />

o multi-disciplinary sessions for back treatm<strong>en</strong>t, lasting 120 minutes,<br />

o rehabilitation associated with post multi-disciplinary rehabilitation (this<br />

can only be invoiced after the completion of multi-disciplinary physical<br />

medical treatm<strong>en</strong>t for certain health conditions),<br />

o some services may be invoiced on the spot but the cumulative fee is<br />

limited by day (manipulation, thermotherapy, traction, waves, etc).<br />

2. The classification for physiotherapy is:<br />

o standard disease,<br />

o session for acute specific diseases (Fa-list),<br />

o session for chronic specific diseases (Fb-list),<br />

o session for serious disease (E-list) b ,<br />

o perinatal condition session.<br />

3. All the sessions related to that kind of disease are grouped under these<br />

terms:<br />

o wherever the treatm<strong>en</strong>t is provided;<br />

o whatever the duration (overall total duration of 60 minutes is only<br />

allowed for Cerebral Palsy, wh<strong>en</strong> pati<strong>en</strong>t is younger than 21);<br />

o whether or not the treatm<strong>en</strong>t exceeds the number of maximally<br />

reimbursed treatm<strong>en</strong>t sessions for standard diseases (18 sessions) and<br />

Fa- and Fb-listed conditions (60 sessions);<br />

o whether or not it involves a first or second treatm<strong>en</strong>t on the same day<br />

for E-listed conditions and standard diseases, in certain circumstances.<br />

There is one exception on the principle of regrouping according to condition: we refer<br />

explicitly to a "second session due to certain hospital procedures" wh<strong>en</strong> a second<br />

session is invoiced on the same day as another session related to standard disease. This<br />

is only possible if:<br />

o the pati<strong>en</strong>t was hospitalised in int<strong>en</strong>sive care or int<strong>en</strong>sive neonatal<br />

care or in a service for frail new-born;<br />

o the pati<strong>en</strong>t was hospitalised and received reanimation care or specific<br />

onerous orthopaedic surgery. In this case, 14 second sessions may be<br />

invoiced within the 30 days following these interv<strong>en</strong>tions.<br />

b App<strong>en</strong>dix 1, 2 and 3 provide a description of these diseases E and F. The standard diseases are defined by<br />

default.
