The doctor is 22 euros and the lab could be 60+ for a full test. I am not sure how much the nurse costs, but it's not a lot.  1 euro  is not given back for each of the Doctor, Nurse, and Lab You should then get back eventually 65%  of what you paid from the Sécu, and if you have a Mutuelle they should pay you the rest, so in the end you would get back what you paid less 3 euros. If you haven't got a Mutuelle you should still get back 65% minus 3 euros. Sometimes the statements from the Sécu are not easy to follow. For example I might be paid the cost of the presciption but later the 50 centimes per box is taken of a different re-imbursement    Report

I've noticed that the 1 Euro charges for blood tests seem to apply to each analysis done on the blood. We regulalry get charged 34 Euros plus charges of 4 Euros. That's for one blood sample and analyses for a few different things. With the 0.50 Euro pharmacy charges for each box of prescribed drugs as well, all these charges mount up and CPAM takes them from any money that may be due to you. This can sometimes explain why you get a lot less refunded than you expect.     Report
