Complete procedure by country table

Public tariffs are not private self-pay prices or complete episode quotes. Keep each source period, payment component, price qualifier and waiting-time population separate. Historical statistics do not establish current appointment availability. Original source rights apply; see the attribution and source links beside each series.

Each payment and waiting-time series retains its own scope and source period. Public tariffs and private published prices remain separate; check each scope before comparing.

Reimbursement requires prior insurer medical authorization and conditions described by INAMI. Primary sheet is undated but currently linked by INAMI; the unchanged 920-euro amount is corroborated by the dated 2013 amendment, which superseded the 2009 1,073-euro amount. Retrieval date is not an invented 2026 tariff effective date.
