MCH

What MCH does

MCH (Medisch Centrum Huisartsen) is a Belgian physician-owned medical outpatient organization founded in 1966, operating two polyclinics in Leuven and Wezembeek-Oppem. The organization is structured as a cooperative "van, voor en door huisartsen" (by, for, and through general practitioners), with member GPs participating in governance through the General Assembly and Board of Directors. Its three operating divisions — Labo (laboratory), Polikliniek (polyclinic), and Focus — deliver specialist consultations across 120+ physicians, a fully conventionalized clinical laboratory (clinical chemistry, hematology, serology, immunology, microbiology), and radiology services including X-ray and bone densitometry, all accessed on GP referral.

The technology stack is built around digital interoperability with the referring physician workflow. Lab Online (licensed from Moonchase BVBA) is the core electronic lab ordering and results platform, integrated with GPs' medical software packages (medisch pakket, Careconnect, Medispring) and delivering validated results within approximately one minute. Patient-facing infrastructure is provided through Mynexuzhealth (portal and app for records, results, and appointments), CoZo (cross-provider health data sharing), and Doccle (digital invoicing, launching June 2026). MCH is also transitioning its laboratory to fully digital reporting.

Revenue is generated primarily through three streams: laboratory tests billed strictly at RIZIV tariff rates with no supplements, specialist outpatient consultations, and radiology examinations. The customer base consists of two primary cohorts — patients in the Leuven/Wezembeek-Oppem region (served on GP referral) and the member GP community that functions simultaneously as referrer, governance participant, and strategic partner. Go-to-market combines direct-to-patient service delivery (appointments via nexuzhealth, walk-in radiology from February 2026) with a physician engagement program built on continuing medical education, scientific bulletins, and a multi-channel newsletter ecosystem.
