At the beginning of January 2022, the INAMI published a convention for 2022-2023 related to the financing of dialysis. The convention regulates the modalities of reimbursement for dialysis of patients with chronic renal failure.

The convention determines reimbursement amounts and conditions for a hospital and for doctors depending on the type of dialysis. The fees per day for different types of dialysis (hemodialysis in hospital, autodialysis, home dialysis, peritoneal dialysis, dialysis for children, etc.) and lump-sums per day (for ambulatory dialysis in hospital, home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis at home, etc.) are provided in the convention.
