When a hospital practitioner, working in a public health establishment, is hospitalised in one of the establishments mentioned inarticle L. 5 of the General Civil Service Code, the employing establishment will pay, for a maximum period of six months, the cost of hospitalisation not reimbursed by social security bodies, with the exception of the daily hospital charge. In the case of hospitalisation in an establishment other than that in which the practitioner is employed, this cost may only be borne in the event of necessity recognised by a doctor designated by the employing establishment or on the basis of a certificate issued by the establishment where the person concerned has been hospitalised attesting to the urgency of the hospitalisation.
The persons concerned also benefit from free medical care provided in the establishment where they work, as well as free pharmaceutical products issued for their personal use by the establishment’s pharmacy, on prescription from an establishment doctor.
The establishment is subrogated to the rights conferred on practitioners by the social security scheme to which it is subject.
