Concerning medicalized transport, you must obtain a valid transportation prescription from your physician indicating Transportation with VSL or Taxi >>. Travel expenses incurred using an NAVL vehicle or taxi services will typically be reimbursed by CPAM depending on your individual situation.
These types of vehicles are tailored specifically to transporting people in poor health to medical appointments and moving between facilities providing health care and their homes. They can be easily identified by their white carrosserie with blue six-branched crossbar – a telltale sign they belong to the health vehicle category.
Practice shows that this approach works just as effectively for any other vehicle type. Therefore, you should remain mindful of submitting all required documentation.
Your choice between a VSL and traditional taxi rides depends on a physician evaluation as well as your ability to accompany yourself.
As soon as a VSL trip is completed, you will receive either the total or partial value of your total social security premium – usually 55% – from VSL; with any remaining funds coming back through health savings accounts according to your contract agreement.
To take advantage of discounted healthcare transport services, you must have access to an HMO and present proof of their transport bond when making your reservation (see below). Otherwise, we will require that a new policy is established at least 30 days in advance.
