Reimbursement procedure

When the costs of treatment, a medical consultation or any other healthcare service are paid in advance by the insured person, a claim for reimbursement can be sent to the National Health Fund (CNS).

To obtain reimbursement, the following must be sent by post to the CNS:

1. The original invoices and fee statements
   • These must include the 13-digit identification number of the person who received the treatment (insured person or member of their family).
   • Copies must be made before sending if you wish to keep the originals.
2. Proof of payment
   • Proof that the costs have been paid.

You have two years from the date of payment of the invoice to submit your claim for reimbursement.

Immediate reimbursement at the agency

It is possible to obtain immediate reimbursement by cheque or instant transfer by going in person to a National Health Fund (CNS) office, subject to the following conditions:

• The total amount of medical expenses must be at least €100 per household.
• Invoices or fee statements must have been paid within the last 15 calendar days at the time of presentation.
