Database Population
The Database Population is managed by the Inter Mutualistic Agency (IMA) and contains demographic, socio-economic, and healthcare data on the members of the seven Belgian health insurance funds. It collects all reimbursement data of health care consumption from all seven healthcare insurers. Since health insurance with one of these insurers is legally mandatory in Belgium, reimbursement data of all legal residents are available in the IMA database. The data is available in separate datasets per calendar year.
