Psychological care

Health insurance reimburses psychological care in primary care through 3 functions: community-oriented interventions, primary psychological support and psychological treatment in primary care.

Children and young people no longer pay a personal share for psychological care sessions organized by a mental health network since February 1, 2024. You also do not pay a personal share for group sessions in the community-oriented interventions function. Finally, this also applies to the first individual conversation.

Are you over 23 years old? Then you pay this personal share:

• 11 euros per session (or 4 euros if you have the increased allowance) for individual sessions;
• 2.50 euros per session for group sessions.
   

What is a Mental Health Network?

Please note, not all clinical psychologists and orthopedagogues can conventionalize. You can find this reimbursed psychological care from clinical psychologists and educational psychologists who have an agreement for this purpose with the mental health network.

• Find a conventional clinical psychologist or educational psychologist

Sessions can be done individually or in groups. They can take place in a practice room of the network, but also in a suitable room with the patient or via video.

Reimbursement by health insurance is limited in number of sessions. This takes into account:

• the type of psychological function (community-based interventions, primary psychological support and psychological treatment in primary care). Together with your clinical psychologist or educational psychologist, you will determine which position is most suitable to answer your request for help. More information about the different types of psychological functions can be found here .
• the age group (children and young people up to 23 years old, or adults from 15 years old). The age groups overlap : children and young people up to 23 years old, and adults from 15 years old. Young adults aged 15 to 23 can choose which group they find the most suitable offer.
