What do you need to know when being admitted to UZA? What should you bring with you? Find answers to all your questions below.

Important information about your admission

To make your stay as pleasant as possible, we provide you with plenty of practical information. If you have any questions, feel free to ask our doctors, nurses, or staff at the admissions department or patient guidance service.

• If you are being admitted and staying in the hospital for one or more nights, first check in at the reception desk in the main entrance hall. Please inform us in advance if you are unable to come! Learn more about the registration process.
   
• Don't forget to bring the name and address of your general practitioner for your administrative file.

• Always bring your ID card (eID), KidsID, or ISI+ card to UZA. This is important because it is the only way for us to apply the third-party payer system. With this system, you only pay your portion of the healthcare costs (co-payment), while other expenses are directly covered by your health insurance. If you do not have your eID, KidsID, or ISI+ card with you from 01/01/2024 onwards, you will always have to pay a deposit for medical services. Without scanning your eID, ISI+ card, or KidsID, the regulations no longer allow the third-party payer system.

• Also, remember to bring your personal belongings and bring your own towels and washcloths. Learn more about what to bring for hospitalization.
   
• Remember to inform your health insurance provider, hospitalization insurance, general practitioner, and employer. Learn more about who to notify.
   
• You can choose your own room. We take this into account as much as possible based on availability.
