Hello

I am currently living in Gent and last Thursday i had a bike accident. Fell pretty hard and couldnt move my knee or walk, so the people around me called the emergency number and i was taken to the hospital. They took some x rays and nothing was broken. I was told that i could go , but before they gave me a prescription and the number of some doctors in case the injury didnt improve. So my question is ...they did not give me any bill nor did i have to pay anything...will the bill arrive to my house or is this emergency covered by my insurance. I have the basic insurance with christian mutualiteit ( not hospitalisation package). Does anyone have experience with this ?

Thanks
