Reimbursement in Belgium

Your Taranis shopping, reimbursed.

Your health insurance fund reimburses your low-protein foods, up to €2,646.60 a year. Enough to stock the cupboard every month. Three steps, and it’s sorted.

  1. The centre writes your prescription.

    The doctor at your metabolic diseases centre fills in a special form.

  2. The pharmacist completes it.

    They note down your purchases on it: this document becomes your invoice.

  3. Your health insurance fund reimburses you.

    Hand it in to your health insurance fund: you get back 100% of the price paid, up to the annual limit.

  • No monthly cap. Buy what you need, as long as the year’s total stays under €2,646.60.
  • Start straight away. Ask for the form as soon as the diet begins: the months that pass before your first application cannot be claimed back.
  • Think ahead to Christmas. Anything not used by the end of the year is lost: stock up before 31 December.

Your monthly basket.

Open a product family and tap + or − to adjust the quantities; the total updates as you go. Then add everything to your list in one go. We have prepared a starting example for you to adapt with the dietitian at your centre.

Reimbursement guide: €220.55 per month

Recommended retail prices in Belgium; they may vary from one pharmacy to another.

For your Taranis and Sanavi products, prepare your list at home before the appointment. It prints in the format of a prescription: your dietitian or doctor only has to check it, date it and sign it.

For inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism, such as phenylketonuria or maple syrup urine disease, on prescription from a specialist centre approved by INAMI. Sanavi low-protein foods, which we also distribute, are reimbursed in the same way. For a child with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, the health insurance fund also pays €30 per month. In Luxembourg, the rules are different: ask your doctor or the CNS.

For low-protein diets.

Counting protein at every meal, every day, is demanding. To help you keep to the diet in the long term, Taranis products replace staple foods with reduced-protein versions, and meals stay varied. The amounts are still set by your medical team.
