Praktische vragen en antwoorden over je aansluiting
Everyone who lives or works in Belgium is required by law to join a health insurance fund. However, you are free to choose which health insurance fund suits you best, such as Helan.
Helan helps you to get Belgian social insurance sorted quickly so you can go to the doctor, pharmacy or hospital without having to worry. We help you step by step with your membership, explain everything clearly and make sure your reimbursements happen automatically.
Plus, you get additional advantages with Helan: reimbursement for sports and wellness, discounts on glasses and mental healthcare, and affordable insurance for hospitalisation or dental care.
You will need the documents below to complete your membership:
- An international passport or identity card
- An address in Belgium
To be a customer of a health insurance fund, you must pay a monthly contribution.
Helan offers support in multiple languages: Dutch, English and French. Our staff are used to working with international profiles and will help you step by step in a language you understand. This means you always know exactly what you need to do without worrying about administrative language or technical terms.
Yes, you can already do a lot of things digitally. For example, via the My Helan app and My Helan Web, you can request advantages, view reimbursements, order adhesive stickers or make an appointment.
If you receive only paper doctor's bills, the law requires that you always submit an original in order to get a reimbursement.
When your assignment in Belgium is complete and you return to your home country, you can easily stop your membership with Helan.
Helan will ensure that your file is closed correctly and that you no longer pay unnecessary premiums.
If you still receive a bill from a Belgian hospital or doctor afterwards, Helan will still help you to settle it even after you leave.

“I think many people don't know what they can get reimbursed for. Every now and then, I scroll through the Helan App looking for new or forgotten benefits. My wife and I have a gym membership and love wellness. These are expensive hobbies, but thanks to the reimbursement of up to 50 euros for sports and up to 25 euros for wellness, they remain affordable.”
“After giving birth, I wanted to spend more time with my baby and less time doing housework. Thank you, maternity care! I wanted to breastfeed while I was at home, but also give the daddy some time with the baby now and then (laughs). Pumping was a good compromise. Especially because Helan offers affordable breast pump rental.”
“When you register for the sports club each year, you receive the refund form immediately. All you have to do is add a Helan sticker, take a photo and send everything via the My Helan App. You then receive an email confirming that the reimbursement has been requested, and the amount is credited to your account within a week.”
“In addition to its strong insurance policies, Helan is of course also known for its many benefits. Both my son and I play sports, so the sports benefit of up to 50 euros is very welcome. But I also gratefully make use of the extra reimbursements for speech therapy, psychotherapy and physiotherapy for Leon and myself.”
