Before your discharge, the doctor and head nurse will decide on the most suitable mode of transport depending on your state of health and will draw up the relevant “medical transport prescription”.
- If you leave with your personal vehicle, you can make a request for reimbursement of your expenses using the appropriate form.
- If you can justify 100% coverage for a long-term health condition, the carrier may be paid directly by the health insurance, under the third-party system.

- If the current hospitalisation is the result of a long-term illness, 100% of the transport costs may be covered after the time necessary to update your file.
