better check the horn


Hi Reader,

Oops, so the horn is located all the way at the bottom of the bike?

Thoughtfully I inspected his impressive curry coloured high-end speedbike of a strong German two-named brand. My friend's bike was equipped with 2 power batteries and a series of specs every cycling fanatic is dreaming about…

but there, at the very bottom, in between the pedals...

there it was, the little membrane through which the warning signal was supposed to be produced. Ready to catch a thick layer of dirt and be completely muted on his next ride through the countryside… a detail I had overlooked, but that I would now check systematically before proceeding with any purchase.

The devil is in the details - and some of them can cost you a lot of frustration or pain.

A pity, huh? If only I would we would know such things upfront.

It reminds me of that doctor who may have called you because he couldn't find the checkboxes in the electronic reimbursement form. And you then trying to find out how such form is actually presented through e-prescription software, to find where those checkboxes may be situated. The databases of RIZIV-INAMI, let alone Staatsblad-Moniteur, may not have led you to swift illumination either.

How about a digital comrade, offering you a preview?

Did you know that you can visualise reimbursement forms - with a clear layout - via the SAM viewer?

>> Visit samviewer.digile.be, type the reimbursement paragraph number and be amazed by:

  • nicely formatted text with indentations
  • the required number of checks
  • the location of checkboxes
  • links to additional documents
  • other medicines associated to this reimbursement paragraph
  • exclusions

and much more to discover (can you find the details of the verses? let me know)

Where do you find paragraph numbers?

For a given package (AMPP), find its associated paragraphs in the tab 'Prijs/Prix' by clicking the CNK code of interest.

Good to know: a direct link to the paragraph content will be added by Digile, so you won't have to click your way through the paragraph or copy-paste the paragraph number in the search bar in the future. We'll keep you posted :-)

Have a nice day,

ps: Don't have a striking example of a paragraph in mind? Then check the adalimumab paragraph §8820000 (https://samviewer.digile.be/nl/sam/paragraphs/IV:8820000#content) with lay-out, checkboxes and associated drug packages. Here you go, Reader!

Hi Reader, “We sometimes feel like a helpdesk”, the market access manager confessed, ‘but it’s mission impossible to keep track of all label extensions, changes to reimbursement criteria and upcoming launches for every possible competitor’. And she continued: “During holiday periods or with staff turnover, we get particularly stressed to keep track of all the information, stored in multiple Excel spreadsheets that need to be permanently updated and exchanged between colleagues”. Is continuity...

Hi Reader, "Hi, can we plan for a Farmaneut demo?" Farma-what? Farma-neut? As I started to visualize this new type of unhappy and somewhat grumpy medical professional, a wave of doubt made its way through my body. But soon thereafter, a warm feeling of thriving ambition made its way back to me, producing a big smile on my face. We love our customers for their enthusiasm but far underestimated their creativity. When developing market intelligence software, we felt like astronauts exploring...

Hi Reader, Do you remember the days you were buildling houses in Lego bricks? Building the house of your dreams, but then getting frustrated as you couldn't find that specific 3-dotted thin brick you needed according to plan? Of having to start it all over because you skipped that one crucial step? Or did you prefer to play around, ignoring any provided plan? And now, as an adult? Do you build your dream house brick by brick, working yourself to blood sweat and tears? Or do you consult an...
