Professional CV Codes

In Chapter IV of the Belgian reimbursement rules, certain reimbursement paths are restricted to specific categories of healthcare professional. Each category is identified by a Professional CV code — a short numeric string (e.g. 668) assigned by RIZIV/INAMI. These codes come from the SAM REF export and are the atomic unit of qualification data: every qualification requirement in a verse ultimately resolves to one or more of these codes.

The official RIZIV registry — Silver Pages — lets prescribers look up their own professional authorisation code: webappsa.riziv-inami.fgov.be/silverpages/

Qualification Lists

CV codes are grouped into qualification lists. A verse references a list by its key (e.g. 962) rather than naming individual codes. The semantics are always OR: a prescriber qualifies if they hold any one of the codes in the list.

Qualification requirements live on individual verses, not on paragraphs as a whole. In the April 2026 SAM export, roughly 4.7% of paragraphs with terminal verses mix different qualification requirements across those verses — meaning different reimbursement paths within the same paragraph can be accessible to different professional categories. A paragraph is considered applicable as long as at least one mandatory path is satisfiable.

Note: the list names stored in SAM are internal admin labels (e.g. "list verse 58425") and carry no useful semantic content. The table below therefore shows the member CV codes directly.
