Admission

Your choice of room has important consequences for your hospital invoice. Depending on the room you choose, additional charges and fees will be calculated.

Always bring your eID and contact details of a close relative and your doctor. Read what you have to bring to ensure that your admission runs smoothly, what you must bring for your child and what you must do in the event of a work-related accident.

Remember to inform your health insurance provider, hospitalisation insurance and your GP as soon as your admission is planned and arranged.

Your discharge from the hospital is always determined in consultation with the attending physician. Before your dismissal, clearly discuss which care you need to continue at home.

You will not need to pay for your admission during your stay in the hospital. There is also no need to pay immediately after your admission: we will send your invoice directly to your health insurance provider and your hospital insurance provider first. You will then receive an invoice for your personal share.

Who will you meet during your stay? When are blood samples taken? How do we conduct scientific research through residual material and tissues? What about organ donation?

UZ Leuven keeps a single, central record for every patient, across all specialisms. This record is fully electronic and is drawn up by physicians, nurses and paramedics. Read more about who uses your record, the advantages of a single record and how you can get access to your own record.
