Room CHoice
You have the following choice of room types:
- the quadruple room
- the double room
- the single room
The choice of rooms does not affect the quality of care. We ask for your understanding if, due to lack of space, we can not immediately give you the room you have requested.
The price of the room (the "Lay down price") is paid by the RIZIV.
The remunerations and additional hotel costs (the personal share) remain at the expense of the patient.
For stays in a single room and a double room, a supplement is charged. The doctor's fees can be increased with this choice of room. In the admission department a list is available for inspection with the maximum fees for each doctor.
