Reimbursement of annual medical check-up and further tests for 2007

On 8 May 2007, the appointing authority took the following decision:

Medical fees for an official’s 2007 annual check-up shall be reimbursed up to a maximum of 42 euro for Brussels, Luxembourg and Ispra.

For the Representations in the Member States, in order that economic realities be properly reflected in each of the countries concerned, the maximum amount reimbursable shall be linked to parity coefficients published by the Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme.

Prior authorisation must be obtained from the Commission’s medical officer for any further special tests forming part of the check-up programme which the doctor consulted requests. Prior authorisation is essential if the fees are to be reimbursed in full by the Commission. The fees for special tests which have not received prior authorisation may be reimbursed by the Sickness Insurance Fund, at the rate set in the rules of the Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme.

Officials employed outside Community territory who submit a duly substantiated application may be reimbursed fees in excess of the above amount.

Staff employed in Brussels should send claims for reimbursement to the Medical Service, BRE2 6/397.
Claims for reimbursement for treatment recommended and prescribed following any further tests undertaken as a result of the check-up should be sent to the Sickness Insurance Claims Office in the normal way.
