Article L1110-8 of the French Public Health Code

The patient’s right to free choice of practitioner and healthcare establishment and of the method of care, whether outpatient or at home, in particular where palliative care is involved within the meaning of article L. 1110-10, is a fundamental principle of health legislation.

Limitations imposed on this principle by the various social protection schemes may only be introduced in consideration of the technical capacity of the establishments, their pricing system and the criteria for authorisation to provide care reimbursable by social security.

Article L1110-8

Le droit du malade au libre choix de son praticien et de son établissement de santé et de son mode de prise en charge, sous forme ambulatoire ou à domicile, en particulier lorsqu’il relève de soins palliatifs au sens de l’article L. 1110-10, est un principe fondamental de la législation sanitaire.

Les limitations apportées à ce principe par les différents régimes de protection sociale ne peuvent être introduites qu’en considération des capacités techniques des établissements, de leur mode de tarification et des critères de l’autorisation à dispenser des soins remboursables aux assurés sociaux.
