Se faire rembourser son matériel médical à domicile

How home medical equipment funding really works in France: prescriber, PSDM provider, health insurance fund, top-up insurer. Useful legal references, enforceable deadlines, wording to use and letter templates.

A hospital bed arrives at home. A wheelchair is ordered. A CPAP machine is installed on the evening of a hospital discharge. In nearly every case, nobody has explained who pays for what, what will remain the household's responsibility, or how to dispute an invoice that does not match what was announced. This guide describes the real circuit of home medical equipment in France: the prescriber, the provider, the health insurance fund, the top-up insurer. It gives the useful legal references, the enforceable deadlines, the wording to use and letter templates to copy, plus the minimum vocabulary — starting with PSDM, the French acronym for the service provider and equipment distributor that delivers, installs, maintains and invoices home equipment. It contains no medical advice and no recommendation of any product, brand or provider: equipment choice belongs to the prescriber, and the exact coverage conditions belong to your health insurance fund. Everything you read must be confirmed on ameli.fr and with your own fund before taking any step. Audience: patients and carers dealing with the rental or purchase of home medical equipment. Delivered as PDF, EPUB, Markdown and HTML, updated as of 31/07/2026. The e-book is written in French (it deals with the French system).

Frequently asked questions

Does this guide give medical advice?
Never. It contains no medical advice and says so explicitly: equipment choice belongs to the prescriber. The guide deals only with the administrative circuit and coverage.
Does it recommend a provider, a brand or a model?
No. It contains no recommendation of any product, brand or provider — that rule is set out from the introduction.
Does the guide guarantee my equipment will be reimbursed?
No. The exact coverage conditions belong to your health insurance fund. The guide gives you the circuit, the enforceable deadlines and the wording to use, but everything must be confirmed on ameli.fr and with your fund before you act.
Who is it for?
Patients and carers dealing with the rental or purchase of home medical equipment — not healthcare professionals or providers.
Can I withdraw after purchase?
No: digital content delivered immediately after payment. By ticking the consent box before buying, you request immediate performance and expressly waive your right of withdrawal (art. L221-28 of the French Consumer Code). Any issue: contact@chipiestudio.com.
