Local Health Insurance
Belgium has an advanced mandatory insurance system for all employees, organized through “Mutuelles” (health insurance funds). Basic services are generally well covered, but this protection is mostly restricted to the national territory and provides limited coverage abroad.
International Health Insurance
Frequent travelers or those wanting exclusive services (chief physician treatment, faster appointments) benefit from an international policy that fills the gaps and provides global coverage. Repatriation to your home country can also be included—something the Belgian system usually does not cover.
