Par Eric Burgraff
BIM… Somewhat enigmatic, the acronym deserves to be better known. This is because it is just as synonymous with complementary health care rights as it is an indicator of precariousness. BIM must be translated by “beneficiary of the increased intervention”, a status which offers its holders greater reimbursements following a medical service or a purchase in a pharmacy, for example. But a statute, as we have said, which tells a lot regarding the state of society. The Christian Mutual is publishing this week a detailed study on the beneficiaries of these provisions, cross-referencing the data of its members with that of the “Intermutualist Agency” which aggregates the statistics of all Belgian mutuals.
