What’s the process for organising treatment in France for a patient from abroad ?
After being contacted by an international patient wishing to receive medical treatment in France, ELSAN carries out an initial assessment of their medical situation.

If the patient’s case is accepted, ELSAN sends them a treatment plan that includes a cost estimate. ELSAN also provides patients with the relevant paperwork, particularly with regard to their application for a visa to travel to France.
Once these formalities have been dealt with, ELSAN sends the patient the details of their care pathway. Patients are welcomed by ELSAN teams on arrival and enjoy hotel-style comfort during their stay. ELSAN also provides a range of concierge services (to be booked in advance) to help international patients plan the non-medical aspects of their visit. These services allow patients to be benefit from the presence of family members (parents, children) during their stay in France.
