The procedure or examination recommended by your physician has been explained to you. You will be referred to an anesthesiologist for a pre-admission consultation. This consultation is mandatory and must take place no later than 48 hours before your procedure or examination.

Anesthesia consultations are held at our consultation center, located at 160bis Rue de l'Université, 75007 Paris.

Appointments can be made:
- Via DOCTOLIB
- By phone: 01.45.56.97.80
- By email: consultations.alma@almaviva-sante.com

COMPLETE YOUR PRE-ADMISSION

After your appointment with the anesthesiologist, please complete your administrative file. This will simplify the admission process and reduce waiting time on the day of your procedure.

Required documents:
- Valid ID (identity card, passport, residence permit): PLEASE NOTE: a driver’s license is not considered a valid ID
- Health insurance card or certificate
- Private insurance card or hospital coverage confirmation

For minors or protected adults, the following documents are required:

- Guardian’s ID (AND copy of the legal guardianship ruling)

The Patient Passport

This booklet is provided during your pre-admission. It serves as an information tool shared between you and healthcare professionals, ensuring the safety of your care.
It is important that you read it carefully before your stay.

You must bring it, completed and signed, on the day of your admission.

The Patient Passport includes:

• The clinic’s welcome booklet
• Various consent forms (procedure/exam consent; anesthesia consent; parental/guardian consent for minors or protected adults)
• Designation of a trusted person
• Advance directives form
• General hygiene instructions to be followed before and after hospitalization

How to obtain hospital coverage?

You have two options:

• If your insurance provider is linked to an online system (Almerys, Viamedis, Isanté...), the request can be made by our staff at admission using your insurance card.
• If your insurance provider is not linked to such a system, you must request hospital coverage yourself before admission. To do so, please provide the following details:
  - FINESS: 750300139
  - DMT: 137
  - Email for submitting hospital coverage: accueil.alma@almaviva-sante.com

 Mandatory contributions related to your stay 

According to current regulations, certain fees will be charged. These are not reimbursed by the French Health Insurance but may be covered by your private insurance or complementary health coverage. Please check with your provider. Exemptions may apply, particularly for beneficiaries of the Universal Health Coverage or State Medical Aid. The complete list of exemptions is available at ameli.fr.

Daily hospital charge: €20 per day (including the day of discharge) 

This charge represents your financial contribution to accommodation and maintenance costs during your hospitalization. It is applicable for each day of hospitalization, including the day of discharge. It does not apply to outpatient stays. The amount is set by ministerial decree. 

Fixed contribution: €24 per stay 

Preserving the healthcare system is everyone’s responsibility, and you contribute to it through healthcare expenses. This portion, which remains your responsibility, is referred to as a “fixed contribution” or “copayment”. 

The fixed contribution of €24 applies to procedures costing €120 or more. For procedures under €120, a copayment may still be required. 

No other charges, except those for medical services provided or optional services you specifically requested (such as a private room), can be billed. The cost of these optional services must be communicated to you prior to your care.

Failure to follow fasting instructions may result in cancellation of your procedure.
