How do you prescribe a state-covered spa treatment?
1. Determine the medical indication
The patient’s condition falls under a treatment protocol covered by Health Insurance.
2. Complete the coverage request form (CERFA 11139*03)
The doctor completes the medical questionnaire, and the patient fills out the income declaration.
3. Send the application to the CPAM
Ideally, one and a half months before the start of the treatment. The approval is valid for the calendar year.
IMPORTANT :
Only one approved spa treatment per year is covered for the same condition. Exception for patients with severe burns: within 5 years of the accident, patients may receive 2 approved spa treatments per year.
