Admission formalities

The admission and discharge formalities are carried out at the secretariat of the hospitalization department (secrétariat du service d’hospitalisation), located in the reception hall, on the ground floor of the establishment.

Pre-admission

During an appointment with your specialist, you will be provided with information on the planned medical or surgical procedure, on possible complications and on the fees and possible overruns. A Patient Information Booklet ( Livret d’Information Patient )  including a Patient Admission Booklet (Livret d’Entrée Patient) will also be given to you during this consultation with your practitioner.

Before the pre-anesthetic consultation, we ask you to go to the Admissions Office (Bureau des Admissions), in order that your administrative file can be prepared.

The pre-anesthetic consultation is mandatory.  Anesthesia is a set of techniques allowing the performance of a surgical or medical act (endoscopy, radiology, etc.) by eliminating or reducing pain.

The pre-anesthetic consultation must be carried out before any general or locoregional anesthesia several days before the operation; do not forget to bring with you any recent laboratory results, your medical treatment and your Patient Entry Booklet (Livret d’Entrée Patient) including the pre-anesthetic questionnaire, all duly completed and signed.

Outside the opening hours of the departmental secretariats, admissions are made with the emergency secretariat: Rez-de-Chaussée Beauregard 2.

For your admission, you must bring the documents mentioned above.

If your hospitalization is urgent, the admission formalities are reduced to a minimum, and the file will be completed later by the patient themself at their bedside, or by a member of the family at the admissions office. Requesting this information may seem inappropriate at such times, but we thank you for your understanding. Your identification is important for both administrative and medical reasons. Our hospital works in close collaboration with the 24-hour on-call service organized by the local family/general practitioners. Your family or general practitioner will be informed, if you wish, of the progress of your treatment. At your request, he may consult your medical file in accordance with the rules of ethics.

Special cases:

• We are counting on your assistance to provide us with the necessary supporting documents, in particular those concerning your complementary health insurance ("mutuelle").  An their absence a provision corresponding to the estimated amount of your hospital fees may be required.

• If you do not have any social security cover or if your cover has not been accepted, you will have to pay the full cost of hospitalization. You will then be asked for a deposit upon admission, the amount of which will vary depending on the type of intervention and any costs that may be payable by you (daily rate, television, telephone, private room, etc.). This check will be returned to you by mail after full payment of your invoice.

• If you are not covered by French Social Security, an estimate will be provided to you for signature and a deposit will be required.

• Do not forget to inform your employer of your absence, by sending him the "bulletin de situation" which will be given to you by the discharge office or which will be given to you at your request in the event of outpatient surgery.
