Quick and easy digital declaration of your hospitalisation
Through the course of one year, our digital channels (app and website) became the primary way to declare a hospitalisation. Today, we receive almost half of all hospitalisations through our app or website.
Declaring a hospitalisation in the app or on the website takes less than 2 minutes. We guide you step by step through the declaration process in order to make sure all information is correct and complete. That way any missing information in your declaration. Your demand is automatically linked to your profile which speeds up the treatment process.
The app also keeps you updated on the status of your declaration. You can easily find your file when arriving at the hospital in order to communicate your 010 number.
Tracking the status of your expenses in the Vanbreda app
Submitting your expenses through the app is incredibly easy. Just take a picture of the invoices and upload them. Since all of that happens in your profile, the costs are immediately linked to the correct person. So by submitting your expenses through the app, as well as via the website, it takes less time to treat them which means we can reimburse you even faster.

Those expenses are also stored in the app so you check their progress at any time and when you can expect them to be reimbursed.
Your settlement notes in the app
Another thing that’s new, is that you also receive your settlement notes in the app. That way, you get a detailed overview of which costs we can reimburse you and on which bank account that will happen. If there are some costs that are not covered or if the reimbursement is limited, you will always get an explanation. 96% of all people think the settlement meets their expectations. It is clear and holds no surprises.
