Hospitalisation costs

HOSPITALISATION COSTS

REGULATIONS

For an outpatient stay, hospitalisation fees and any hotel supplement must be paid on pre-admission.

DEPOSIT CHEQUE

At the time of your pre-admission or admission, you will be asked for a deposit cheque to cover your out-of-pocket expenses.
The deposit cheque will be returned after final payment of the invoices by the social security, the mutual insurance company and the patient, according to each party's share.

COSTS PAYABLE BY THE INSURED PERSON

FIXED CONTRIBUTION
The fixed contribution is an excess of €24 payable by the patient, which applies to any procedure over €120 (Decree no. 2011-201 of 21 February 2011).
CO-PAYMENT
The co-payment represents the portion of costs not covered by social security.
HOTEL OR CATERING SUPPLEMENTS
The clinic can only accept third-party payment with certain mutual insurance companies.
Check with your mutual insurance company beforehand.

IF YOU ARE NOT COVERED BY SOCIAL SECURITY

You will have to pay the full cost of hospitalisation on the basis of an estimate drawn up in advance by the clinic and accepted by you.

MEANS OF PAYMENT: HOSPITALISATION FEES

Cheque, bank card or cash.

Compulsory contributions linked to your stay

In accordance with current regulations, you will be asked to pay certain fees. These are not reimbursed by the Assurance Maladie but may be covered by your mutual insurance company or supplementary health insurance. Ask your health insurance company for details. There are exemptions, particularly for people receiving complementary health insurance or state medical aid. You can find the full list of exemptions on the ameli.fr website.

Fixed hospital charge: €20 per day (including the day of discharge)

The fixed hospital charge represents your financial contribution to the accommodation and maintenance costs incurred by your hospitalisation. It is payable for each day of hospitalisation, including the day of discharge. It does not apply to outpatient stays. The amount of the fixed hospital charge is set by ministerial decree.

Fixed contribution: €24 per stay

The preservation of Social Security is everyone's business and, in principle, you contribute to each of your health expenses. The part of the cost that remains payable by you is known as the "fixed contribution" or "co-payment".

The flat-rate contribution of €24 applies to procedures costing €120 or more. You may be asked to pay a co-payment for any procedure under €120.

You may not be billed for any costs other than those corresponding to the care provided or, where applicable, to any special requirements you may have requested. The amount of these special requirements, the list of which is strictly defined by the regulations and includes in particular access to a private room, must be communicated to you before the treatment is carried out.
