French System of Health Care
Considered as one of the best Health Care Systems in Europe
Physicians in private practice are paid directly by patients on the basis of a national fee schedule. Patients are then reimbursed by their local health insurance funds. Proprietary hospitals are reimbursed on a negotiated per diem basis and are paid on the basis of annual global budgets negotiated every year between hospitals, regional agencies, and the Ministry of Health. As for prescription drugs, unit prices allowable for reimbursement by a commission that includes representatives from the Ministries of Health, Finance, and Industry.
