The French healthcare system is distinguished by its combination of free services at the point of delivery and a reimbursement model, funded by taxes. Known as tiers payant, this system eliminates upfront costs for certain groups, including lower-income families and pregnant women. Additionally, specific treatments like those for occupational injuries and cancer screenings are included regardless of a patient's financial status. The complexity of the tiers payant system reflects France's commitment to ensuring equitable healthcare access for diverse populations.
The French health system offers a blend of reimbursement and direct payment models, ensuring that certain groups and treatments are fully covered without upfront costs.
Tiers payant allows specific low-income groups and certain situations to receive medical care at no initial charge, reflecting France's commitment to accessible healthcare.
