Threshold for costly medical procedures subject to the €18 flat fee raised from €91 to €120

The decree of 21 February 2011 amends Article R. 322-8 of the Social Security Code. Medical procedures with a tariff of at least €91 (or a coefficient of at least 50) were exempt from the standard co-payment, replaced by a flat €18 contribution. The threshold rises to €120 (coefficient 60). Procedures priced between €91 and €120 remain subject to the standard co-payment.
