caisse d’assurances-soins is the French term and they also include Flemish Zorgkas too. I think it\'s a health CARE fund as opposed to health insurance.

So I\'d suggest keeping Flemish Zorgkas and using Flemish health care fund in English in ().
Peer comment(s):

neutral Chris Hopley : Not a disagree, but I'm just looking for more info. I'm wondering why the "zorg" if it's "non-medical"...? In NL-NL "zorg" is most definitely healthcare-related.

just checked a bit more. from the French equivalent, seems it's more a health-care fund, not health insurance. the non-medical is confusing must admit. guess even the locals working in the field had trouble expressing it in English.
agree Kate Hudson (X) : This is 'care provision' - not medical care provision. In Holland this is covered often by the AWBZ - in Belgium by zorgverzekering and the zorgkas distribute the funds

(Long term) care insurance fund

I think that the UK equivalent of this may be the "(Long term) care insurance fund", which covers "non medical" contingencies, i.e.

"Long term care insurance

This type of insurance provides a planned way of paying for all or some of the cost of any long-term care you may need now or in the future. Through a lump sum payment in advance, or regular premiums, you can buy insurance to cover the cost of care in your own home or in a residential or nursing home. Long-term care means just that - care that if it starts, will be needed for the foreseeable future. Also "care" includes many different features, from someone to do domestic work in your home, through to respite care which offers a break for your carer, and a place in a residential or nursing home."

Wie komt in aanmerking voor terugbetalingen of vergoedingen van de zorgverzekering?

Zeer zwaar zorgbehoevenden die thuis verzorgd worden, komen eerst in aanmerking voor een terugbetaling of een vergoeding.

Ook zeer zwaar zorgbehoevenden die in een rusthuis, een rust- en verzorgingstehuis of een psychiatrisch verzorgingstehuis verblijven, kunnen een aanvraag indienen.

Mantelzorg


Mantelzorg is de hulp die familie of vrienden aan een zorgbehoevende bieden.
De zorgverzekering verstrekt pas vergoedingen als het gaat om meerderjarige personen die thuis een zorgbehoevende verzorgen.
Een zorgbehoevende kan verschillende mantelzorgers hebben.
Andersom kan een mantelzorger ook meerdere zorgbehoevenden verzorgen.

De mantelzorger moet zich laten registreren op het ogenblik dat de aanvraag voor vergoeding wordt ingediend. Daarvoor moet er ook een beperkt activiteitenplan ingevuld worden.


Professionele thuiszorg


Met professionele thuiszorg worden de volgende voorzieningen bedoeld die door de Vlaamse Gemeenschap erkend zijn:


diensten voor gezinszorg
lokale dienstencentra
regionale dienstencentra

Hope this helps!
