mogs Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Following pretty bad burning after radiotherapy last year I've been left with swelling which my surgeon is saying is oedema.He has recommended treatment at this place and says they often send post cancer patients there if needed.Has anyone ever had treatment there? The website is quite informative but am still confused about what security social will pay for or not.If anyone can help with steps for getting a place there I would be most grateful.

BJSLIV Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 http://www.thermes-larocheposay.fr/medias/documentation/brochure-cancer-2013/brochure-cancer-2013.htmThe brochure above gives the details of how to arrange treatment, and what it costs.In essence your doctor prescribes, you get approval, as an ALD it is reimbursed at 100%, you get a rail ticket and 150 Euros towards accommodation costs.It's a lovely quiet little town just down the road from us.

mogs Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thank you all for your replies. I have looked at the brochure which is in English and in French but find it a bit confusing. I'll give them a call tomorrow to find out how much towards food/accommodation is covered - as I've found before being ALD doesn't mean everything is covered and there are often surplus charges.I believe it is near Poitiers, which I think is around 3 hours from me.

NormanH Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There is usually a daily charge of 18€ for the accommodation charges, and then a supplement if you want a private room which differs from establishment to establishment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
