Planning your visit

Appointment waiting times may be shorter than in some neighbouring regions for a given specialty: ask the reception desk. Patients living in Switzerland or working in Genève are asked to specify their insurance situation (LAMal, cross-border worker, French health insurance card (carte Vitale)) when booking.

Compare fees with those in the Genève area

Medical fees in Switzerland are set in Swiss francs under the Swiss outpatient tariff; a specialist consultation, cataract procedure or refractive surgery generally costs significantly more there than in France. To compare, request a written quotation in Switzerland and our estimate before the consultation: consultations, cataract surgery and refractive surgery can be costed in advance. Our fee information rules: fees and extra charges (dépassements d’honoraires).
