Paying your invoice
Here you'll find all the practical information about the cost of your consultation or procedure, how to pay, and what you'll get back from your health insurance fund. For hospitalization invoices, we refer you to AZORG.
Two types of invoices
Good to know: you may receive two separate invoices, depending on the type of care you receive. It's useful to know this distinction in advance.
Consultation or outpatient care
You pay directly to our doctors after the consultation or procedure.
- Consultation with the urologist
- Follow-up or urodynamic examination
- Outpatient examinations (ultrasound, etc.)
- Minor procedures during the consultation
You will receive a detailed overview via the invoice.
Hospitalization or day admission
AZORG invoices all costs related to a hospital admission.
- Operations and surgical procedures
- Hospital room and room choice
- Medical and nursing care
- Day-hospital procedures
Invoice from us — usually 1 to 6 weeks after the consultation.
Your urologist's fees on the AZORG invoice
During a hospitalization, your urologist's fees appear on the AZORG invoice. AZORG collects these on our behalf and transfers the fee to us afterward — so you pay everything through a single invoice.
Our doctors are not under agreement
All urologists at Urology Group Aalst work under a non-contracted ("niet-geconventioneerd") status. This means we are not bound by the official RIZIV rates and may charge fee supplements — on top of the official rate.
Indicative cost
Official RIZIV rate
€ 32,55
Fee supplement
+ € 27,45
Total fee
€60,00
Amounts are indicative — may vary by type of consultation.
Health insurance reimbursement
Standard reimbursement
- € 25,57
Increased reimbursement
- € 30,55
Remaining cost
± € 30 - 35
Amounts are indicative — check with your health insurance fund for the exact reimbursement.
Why do we choose this status?
Our team continuously invests in training, research, and advanced technology — robotic surgery, laser treatments, international fellowships. This non-contracted status makes it possible to offer this top-quality care.
Want to know the exact cost in advance?
For planned procedures, you can request a free, no-obligation cost estimate. Ask for one through your urologist during the consultation, or through the secretariat.
Three ways to pay after your consultation
For consultations and outpatient procedures, you pay immediately after your visit at our desk. You'll receive a detailed overview that you can submit to your health insurance fund.
Bancontact
Our preference — fast and secure. Available at all desks.
Contactless via your PIN.
Cash
Up to € 3,000. Change available at the desk.
Legal limit for cash payments.
Bank transfer
Pay within 14 days of receiving your invoice.
Always include the structured reference.
What happens if you pay late?
Haven't paid your invoice within 14 days of receiving it? You'll first receive a free reminder. A second reminder adds a € 10 late fee, plus the statutory interest for late payment. Unpaid invoices are ultimately handed over to our collections procedure.
What do you get back?
You can claim two types of reimbursement — from your health insurance fund, and, if you have one, from your hospitalization insurance.
Health insurance fund
Submit your detailed cost overview to your health insurance fund.
You get part of the official RIZIV rate reimbursed. The fee supplement falls outside the reimbursement shown on the statement.
Submit your overview via the tab.
Hospitalization insurance
Do you have supplementary insurance? Many policies cover fee supplements — bring your policy number to the department.
Arrange this with your insurer in advance and bring your policy or policy number to the department.
Tip: Check with your insurer before a planned procedure
Ask your personal advisor for a coverage confirmation in advance — that way you avoid any surprises.
Hospitalization? AZORG invoices
Are you admitted for a procedure or a day-hospital procedure? Then you'll receive your invoice directly from AZORG — not from Urology Group Aalst. For questions about that invoice, contact AZORG's billing department directly.
