Private health establishments other than those mentioned in 3° and 4° of article L. 6112-3 which are authorised to provide care to patients in emergency situations are associated with the public hospital service.
Any patient treated in an emergency situation or as part of ongoing care in these establishments benefits from the guarantees provided for in I of article L. 6112-2 of the present code, including for consecutive care linked to this treatment, and in particular from the fact that they will not be billed for exceeding the tariffs set by the administrative authority and the tariffs for fees provided for in 1° of I of article L. 162-14-1 of the social security code.
The establishment associated with the public hospital service ensures, by any means, that patients treated in an emergency situation or as part of the continuity of care are informed that they will not be billed for fees that exceed the rates set by the administrative authority.
If these obligations are not met, the authorisation referred to in the first paragraph of this article and the resulting association with the public hospital service may be suspended or withdrawn, under the conditions set out in article L. 6122-13 of this code.
A rider to the multiannual contract of objectives and resources specifies the conditions of application of this article and the methods of coordination with the other health establishments in the area.
