A measure that should displease many Belgians: the Moderator of Medicines could increase, what consequences for patients?


Frank Vandenbroucke wants to raise the Moderator of Medicines up to 2 euros and limit their share in the care budget to 17 %. A measure that would also target certain reimbursements deemed not essential.



The Minister of Public Health, Frank Vandenbroucke (Vooruit), wishes to increase the moderator for drugs.

The increase could go up to 2 euros, reports from Morgen on Friday, who was able to consult a note from the minister.

The note was discussed Thursday in an interfederal working group and introduced a limit for the first time: now, no more than 17 % of the care budget could be devoted to drugs.


People benefiting from an increased reimbursement would pay at least 1 additional euro, the other 2 euros.

Certain drugs, such as antacids and cholesterol drugs, would also be less reimbursed, unless they are deemed essential for life.
