Physicians have to complete medical certificates required by the sickness and incapacity insurance in Belgium. Certificate for incapacity for work allows the worker to take a rest needed by his health state. It is a part of the medical treatment. Incapacity for work is defined differently in the two main social legislations in our country: the legal frame concerning employed workers and the other one concerning free workers. In both legislations however, it is important that practitioners give the useful information to the advisor doctor of the insurance sickness fund. Making so, he helps his patient with coping with the controls imposed by the law. Using official forms is not compulsory but helps the physician to complete correctly an incapacity for work certificate. In health care area, certificates are needed to obtain reimbursement of treatments. The same concern will guide the practitioner when he completes these certificates.
在比利时，医生必须填写疾病和伤残保险要求的医疗证明。工作能力丧失证明允许工人根据其健康状况进行必要的休息。这是医疗治疗的一部分。在我国的两项主要社会立法中，工作能力丧失的定义有所不同：一项是关于受雇工人的法律框架，另一项是关于自由职业者的。然而，在这两项立法中，从业者向保险疾病基金的顾问医生提供有用信息都很重要。这样做，他可以帮助患者应对法律规定的检查。使用官方表格并非强制要求，但有助于医生正确填写工作能力丧失证明。在医疗保健领域，需要证明才能获得治疗费用的报销。当从业者填写这些证明时，同样的考虑因素将指导他。
