Yes, hospital treatment is covered by the basic health insurance in full or in part. Please check with your mutuelle/mutualiteit before incurring any expenses as extra costs/fees may apply depending on the hospital (public or private). It is possible to get an additional private insurance or hospitalisation health insurance with the mutuelle/mutualiteit to cover some of these costs. Please check with CPAS/ OCMW if it can be covered.
Basic health insurance can cover the costs fully or partly including consultation, medication, hospitalisation, etc. in public hospitals in full or in part. Hospital treatment in private hospitals may not be covered. It is better to check beforehand with the mutuelle/ mutualiteit.
