An innovative clinic in Belgium. A team that follows you.
VeryPatient is the international service of Clinique de la Brisée, a private clinic in Maisières, Belgium. One care‑coordination desk, 32 practitioners, and partner clinics where you actually live — so moving abroad never means starting your medical story from zero.

Born next door to the SHAPE, a major NATO base, built for families who move.
Clinique de la Brisée sits fence-to-fence with SHAPE, NATO's military headquarters in Belgium, which serves personnel from 40 nations. We looked after those families for years — and then they were posted somewhere else, and asked us to keep going.
VeryPatient is our answer. The clinic stays where it is; the coordination, the medical file and the relationship travel with you. Belgian residents are cared for separately, under Visiocure — VeryPatient exists for internationally mobile households.

Qian Li
Co-founder · Care coordination
Co-founded VeryPatient around one promise: that coordinated, portable care should not stop at a border. She leads the care-coordination desk and is the person most families speak to first.
One desk. Two lines of care.
Every channel — WhatsApp, email, the website, the assistant — arrives at the same place: a hybrid care-coordination desk staffed by people who already have your file open. Nothing is lost between channels, because there is only one destination.
Our care coordinators help you prepare your consultation. They are not clinicians: they never diagnose, never assess urgency and never give clinical advice. Every medical decision is made by a named, registered practitioner.
People, not a switchboard
Your coordinator holds the medical history, the allergies, the insurance details and the thread of what happened last time — and stays your point of contact whichever country you are in.
Straight to a doctor
Everyday illness, prescriptions, sick notes, paediatric questions. No case review needed.
Who: our general practitioners (scheduled) and Dr Decamps for paediatrics, on more flexible hours than a GP list allows.
Dr Decamps and the care coordinator are reachable on chat throughout clinic opening hours — so a first message rarely waits for a slot.
Straight to the right specialist
Complex or specialised problems. The coordinators prepare the consultation first, so the specialist starts informed.
- Case analysis by a care coordinator
- Questions and any complementary assessment
- Your medical file is assembled
- Online consultation with the specialist
Mission, vision, and the four things we refuse to trade away.
One trusted medical home for families living far from home.
To be a single contact point and health advocate that coordinates expert care across borders — instead of leaving each family to assemble it alone, in a language they may not speak.
Continuity of care, any time, anywhere.
Distance should not decide the quality of your care. We are building a network in which a posting, a relocation or a time zone changes your address and nothing else.
Digital first, but never digital only.
Coordination and consultation happen online. Examination, prescribing and check-ups happen with a licensed doctor in the country you are standing in.
Continuity
One file, one team, one thread — across countries, specialists and years. You never start over.
Advocacy
Your coordinator works for you, not for the clinic you are being referred to. Briefing providers, chasing results and handling insurers is our job, not yours.
Confidentiality
Medical secrecy under Belgian law and GDPR, applied to every channel — including WhatsApp. What you tell a coordinator is held to the same standard as what you tell a doctor.
Human accountability
Software prepares, routes and translates. A named registered practitioner decides. That line is never blurred, and it is written into our Acceptable Use Policy.
We will never be an online-only clinic.
A screen cannot palpate an abdomen, look in an ear, or write a prescription that a pharmacy in another country will honour. So in every market we enter, we build with local clinics before we open.
Local partner clinics
Physical examination and check-ups with a licensed local practitioner, coordinated by us — including in the United States, once every condition is met.
Prescribing under local law
Belgian e-prescription (Recip-e) for patients in Belgium; private prescriptions abroad, issued only where the prescriber is entitled to do so.
Identity, verified
ID document check on camera at the start of a consultation, a portal connection code, and a coordinator verification call before booking.
Paid the way expats are paid
Cash-pay, direct billing to private and international insurers, and subscription or employer contracts. No Belgian INAMI/RIZIV billing route on VeryPatient.
A TRICARE-approved provider
Clinique de la Brisée is approved under TRICARE, the health programme of the United States military. Cover outside the US is administered through the TRICARE Overseas Program, which is where serving families posted to SHAPE and their dependants can check eligibility and claims.
TRICARE is a registered trademark of the US Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency. This statement describes an approval held by the clinic; it is not a DoD endorsement of VeryPatient.
You can come and stand in it.
Most digital health services are a brand and a call centre. Ours is a nineteenth-century manor with a black lacquered ceiling rosette, a pair of Chinese guardian lions in the hall, and a red giraffe on the stairs — because children have to want to be here.
What the software does, and what it is never allowed to do.
How we use AI
Our WhatsApp assistant is an AI system. It tells you so in its first message, every time. It exists to take down what is wrong, gather the practical details and route your message to the right human — nothing more.
Our AI never diagnoses, never assesses how urgent your problem is, never prescribes and never issues a certificate.
AI is also used for translation and for drafting internal notes. Any AI-drafted content that reaches a patient is reviewed by a named practitioner, who holds editorial and clinical responsibility for it. Human oversight sits with Dr Didier Decamps.
