Computing the allowance¶
1. Open a calculation¶
Go to Forfait → Calculations and create one for the funding year, with the region and the reference period.
2. Collect the billed days¶
Click Collect billed days: Resthome rebuilds the grid from what was actually invoiced to the health insurers over the period, per sector and Katz category, quarter by quarter.
What was claimed, not what was lived
These are the days claimed to the health insurers. A day that was never billed is missing here too — deliberately: the payer counts what it received.
3. Enter the staff¶
In the Staff tab, Add the missing rows, then fill in, per qualification and per quarter, the FTE actually worked and the seniority.
Leave out what is funded elsewhere: Maribel, mobile teams, job-creation schemes 21-24, management, the dementia reference person and end-of-career measures.
The other figures — disoriented residents, function complements, dementia reference person, A2 educator, care logistics assistant — go in the Other inputs tab.
4. Compute¶
Click Compute. Resthome fills in:
the norm in FTE, the present and the funded FTE;
the staff-shortage penalty, if the facility is below the norm;
the fourteen parts of the allowance, in the Parts tab;
the allowance computed, and what is left to the house.
Enter the allowance notified by the payer: Resthome then shows the gap, and what it represents over a year.
5. Validate¶
Validate freezes the file: it becomes the figure that was discussed with the payer. A validated calculation no longer moves — to explore a change, duplicate it as a simulation.
Back to draft reopens it, and clears the results shown.
6. Apply to the INAMI rates¶
Apply to the INAMI rates writes the computed allowance into the billing rate grid, for the whole funding year, and closes the previous rates the day before.
Only from a validated calculation
The action refuses a calculation that is not validated, and refuses a simulation. Running it again replaces the rates — it never stacks them.
