What Certimed does

Certimed is a Belgian B2B service provider that organizes and dispatches independent medical control physicians to verify employee sick-leave absences on behalf of employers. The company self-positions as the market leader ("marktleider") in independent medical controls in Belgium, addressing the employer need for objective, legally compliant verification of absenteeism while respecting employee privacy. Its customer base consists of employers, HR managers, and team leaders across Belgian organizations of varying sizes, with a minimum engagement threshold of 10 controls per client.

The core product is the Medical Control (Medische controle) service, which dispatches a control doctor to conduct an in-person examination, typically at the employee's home. The operational backbone is a nationwide roster of independent control physicians, providing geographic coverage across Belgium and serving as a significant barrier to entry. The service is delivered through a process management and coordination platform that handles scheduling, dispatch, and reporting, and Certimed is embedded within Mensura's broader occupational health and safety ecosystem, which encompasses mental health, physical health, safety, training, and absence management services.

Certimed generates revenue on a per-control usage-based model, with volume discounts available for clients ordering 10 or more controls. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales via the website, phone, and email, complemented by cross-promotion through Mensura's digital presence. The company is a private service brand operating as a division of Mensura, a Belgian external prevention and protection service, with no independent funding history and operations confined to Belgium.
