Frequently asked questions

Medical taxi FAQ

What is a CPAM-approved medical taxi?

A CPAM-approved medical taxi is certified by the French national health insurance for professional seated transport (TAP). The driver is trained in patient transport, the vehicle is certified, and third-party billing means CPAM pays the taxi directly. Third-party billing only works if the prescription was issued before the transport and the driver is approved in the department where it starts. Without that, the ride is an ordinary one, paid by the patient.

How do I qualify for third-party billing?

You need a medical transport prescription (PMT) from your doctor BEFORE the transport. Present the PMT, Carte Vitale and supplementary insurance card. Under ALD, AT, CMU-C: 100% coverage. Otherwise CPAM 65% + supplementary 35%. The prescription must predate the ride: a document issued afterwards cannot be used to claim the journey. Keep the receipt handed over at the end, as it carries the details the fund checks.

What treatments are covered?

Dialysis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, rehabilitation, specialist consultations, scheduled hospitalisations, medical examinations (MRI, CT scan, biopsy), post-operative care. A medical transport prescription is required. The prescription must be issued before the transport: without it, the ride is an ordinary one, at your own expense and not reimbursed. The driver must also be approved in the department where the transport starts.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible vehicles (PMR)?

Yes, our fleet includes PMR vans with access ramps, wheelchair securing systems and space for powered wheelchairs. Specify your PMR requirement when booking. A non-folding chair does not fit in a saloon's boot, which is why stating the requirement when booking is what gets an adapted van assigned. Guide dogs and assistance dogs can never be refused.

Does the driver wait during my consultation?

Yes, for round trips the driver waits throughout your consultation or session. Waiting time is included in the CPAM-agreed rate and fully covered. For a long session such as dialysis, hiring by the hour is arranged in advance so a vehicle stays on site. Waiting time is not charged to the patient beyond the agreed rate.

CPAM-approved medical taxi in France

The CPAM-approved medical taxi is the most widely used healthcare transport mode in France for autonomous or semi-autonomous patients. Regulated by the Public Health Code, it enables patients to attend medical appointments with no upfront payment through third-party billing. The medical transport prescription (PMT) is the key document that unlocks reimbursement rights.

TaxiNeo offers this service in 138 French cities, with CPAM-approved drivers trained in patient care and wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Series packages (5 or 10 round trips) are particularly suited to dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation patients who need regular, planned transport.

TaxiNeo's differentiation rests on three pillars: punctuality (arrival 10 minutes before appointment), patient comfort (smooth driving, controlled temperature, sickness bag) and administrative simplicity (electronic claims, automatic recurring schedules, single point of contact). For ALD patients, coverage is 100% by the national health insurance.
