The way the system works is: every resident in Belgium joins one of the sickness funds or mutualités/mutualiteiten. Contributions are automatically deducted from your salary and you can join whichever fund you want.

When you receive treatment you pay the doctor and receive a form that can then be presented to the mutualité for partial reimbursement.

Doctors' fees may vary, but the reimbursement is regulated and stays the same for any particular service.
