Unless expressly stated otherwise on HOSPPE, all the services offered by French Care Partners comply with the European legislation in force and the standards applicable in France.
Article 5.2. Quote Request Procedure
Quote requests are made directly on HOSPPE. To make a Quote Request, the Patient must follow the steps outlined below (note however that depending on the browser's start page, the steps may differ slightly).
5.2.1. Search
On the HOSPPE home page, the Patient selects the illness for which he wishes to obtain a Request for Quote.
The Patient then has the option of choosing a city. The Quote Request will then be sent to one or more Establishments of the chosen city (or a municipality bordering the chosen city). If he does not choose a city, the Request for Quote will be sent to one of the Establishments of the cities listed on HOSPPE (or the neighboring municipalities of the cities listed).
French Care Partners draw the Patient's attention to the fact that the Patient is more likely to benefit from a Quote if the search is carried out on all of the proposed territory.
5.2.2. Quote Request Forms
Once the illness has been notified and the city chosen, the user is invited to register or to connect if he is not already connected.
After identification, the Patient is then asked to complete a medical questionnaire that collects the necessary Health Data so that the Establishments can issue a Quote.
The Health Data to be provided are as follows :
- Medical history (Have you ever been treated for medical problems ?);
- Allergies (Do you have a known allergy ?);
- Care (For what care do you want to come to France ?);
- Doctor’s letter (Do you have a letter from your doctor summarizing your illness ? If yes, document to download).
- Medical documents needed (Submit all your medical documents related to your illness. Documents to download) ;
- Comments (You can add comments (optional)).
The Patient must complete the Health Data accurately, including any relevant details.
The Patient is informed that French Care Partners may request additional information if the Data provided does not allow the Establishments to prepare a Quote. In no case will French Care Partners give medical advice.
The Patient must then fill out a form in which the following data must be entered :
- Country ;
- Address ;
- Telephone number ;
The Patient must then provide some identity papers ;
This Data is necessary for the identification of the Patient, so that French Care Partners can ensure that the Health Data belongs to the person making the Request for Quote, or in whose name the Quote Request is made if the Patient is minor.
If the person on whose behalf the Request for Quote is made is not the person registered as a Patient on HOSPPE, French Care Partners reserves the right to ask the Patient for a special mandate from the person whose Health Data is transmitted, to ensure his consent.
Once the Quote Request has been completed, the Patient arrives on the summary page of his Quote Request and must verify that the contents of his order are correct. He can then modify each previous step if necessary or add documents necessary to estimate the Quote.
Finally, the patient confirms :
• That he consents for the Data be transmitted to the Establishments as described in the privacy policy ;
• That he accepts the terms of these GTC.
5.2.3. Confirmation

French Care Partners do not send any order confirmation by post or fax.
5.2.5. Further information
Patient Data Collection forms have several empty fields and the ability to download all types of documents.
It is therefore possible that the Data provided by the Patient could be incomplete with regard to the illness concerned by the Request for Quote.
As a result, French Care Partners will be able to ask the Patient for further information, or even additional data, so that the Establishments can send Quotes corresponding precisely to the needs of the patients.
In this case, the effective date of the Request for Quote and the starting point of the corresponding deadlines shall begin when confirmation is received from French Care Partners, in accordance with Article 5.3. below.
Article 5.3. Request Quote Procedure from the Professional Account
The search for an establishment is carried out in accordance with Article 5.2.1. above.

The User is prompted to register or log in if he is not already registered.
After identification, the Professional is then invited to submit the medical documents necessary for the elaboration of the Estimate of the person on whose behalf it intervenes.
Finally, the Professional confirms:
• Consent to the transmission of the Patient Data to the Institutions as described in the Privacy Policy and be authorized by the patient to do so.
• Accept the terms of this SMC.

5.3.4. Additional information
Article 5.2.5. applies to the Professional making a Request for Quotation.
Article 5.3. Date of Request for Quote
The date of the Request for Quote is the date on which French Care Partners acknowledges receipt of the order online. The deadlines indicated on HOSPPE do not start until this date, provided that the Request for Quote is complete.
In accordance with Article 5.2.5. above, when French Care Partners send the Patient requests for additional information because the Request for Quote does not include all the necessary Data for the Establishments to issue Quotes, the deadline for receipt of Quotes indicated on HOSPPE does not begin to run until French Care Partners confirms that they have all the necessary information for the Request for Quote.
Article 5.4. Price
For all the Services, the Patient or Professional will find on HOSPPE prices displayed in euros, all taxes included.

ARTICLE 12. RESPONSABILITY
HOSPPE is not a medical concierge company, a travel agency or a care facility. HOSPPE does not provide any medical services, give any medical advice or intervene in the decision of a medical treatment. Its sole purpose is the facilitation of contact between a Patient and Establishments.
No time limit for care is given to the Patient by an Establishment along with the Quote since the Patient defines the methods of care directly with the Establishment’s contact. The medical care is decided by the doctor of the host Establishment in agreement with the patient, after the Patient has been informed of all the usual necessary information.
All the services offered by the Establishments are their own responsibility (medical information concerning the illness and treatments, free and informed consent of the patient, diagnosis, treatment, etc.). As a result, the Patient acknowledges that French Care Partners is not responsible for the results of a treatment decided on by an Establishment following the acceptance of the Quote by the Patient (Complications, physical injury, death, etc.).
The responsibility of French Care Partners will in no case be engaged in case of non-performance or improper performance of contractual obligations attributable to the Patient, and especially when entering its Request for Quote.
French Care Partners may request further details or additional documents from the Patient in order to facilitate the issuance of Quotes by the Establishments. However, French Care Partners is not responsible for the relevance and accuracy of the Data provided by the Patients and cannot be responsible if a Request for Quote does not result in receiving a Quote from the Establishments.
In order to ensure that the Request for Quote includes all the elements necessary for the Establishments contacted to make Quotes, the Patient is invited to contact his/her regular doctor. In no case does the Service proposed by HOSPPE fall within the scope of telemedicine.
French Care Partners is not responsible for any difference between the amount indicated on a Quote and the final cost charged by the Establishment, as well as for any dispute arising concerning the services provided by an Establishment.
It is also stated that French Care Partners does not control the websites that are directly or indirectly related to HOSPPE. Consequently, it excludes any liability for the information published therein. Links to third party websites are provided for information purposes only and no warranty is provided as to their content.
Finally, French Care Partners publishes on HOSPPE, news and descriptions of the cities where the Establishments are located. These news and descriptions are provided for information only and do not constitute a commitment of French Care Partners hereunder.
