Qu'est-ce que le tiers payant ?
What is the tiers payant?
Correct answer
Un système qui évite au patient d'avancer les frais de santé
A system that spares the patient from paying medical costs upfront
Why
With tiers payant, the Assurance maladie and/or the mutuelle pay the health professional directly, so the patient does not advance the money. It applies, for example, in pharmacies and for pregnancy care from the 6th month. From the official naturalisation knowledge-question list.
