Description
INTRODUCTION Since the first description of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by Saki et al (1), nucleic acid (NA) testing has become an even more important tool in research and clinical diagnostics. These molecular diagnostic tests are technically demanding, expensive and need a high degree of quality assurance. From 2001 up to now, several proposals for reimbursement of molecular diagnostic tests in Belgium were elaborated, which, at present, have resulted in reimbursement of a limited number of tests for which indications have been described in the Royal Decree of June 7th 2007 (art 33bis) and in the Royal Decree of March 19th 2008 (art 24bis). However, reimbursement is granted only to those laboratories that are accredited according to the ISO-standard (ISO15189:2007) (2). At this moment only few laboratories obtained accreditation for molecular diagnostic tests, many others are in the process of applying for accreditation.
