If you are discharged from a hospital, you do not need to contact your health insurance company for payment; the transfer is handled directly by administrative services.
If, on the other hand, you are traveling to a follow-up care facility from your home, you will require a doctor’s request for prior permission and the social security agreement.
Be cautious, as delays might be lengthy.

The daily cost for a rehabilitation institution.

The rehabilitation center might be either public or private (private or not).
The daily charge includes lodging, meals, and care.
If the establishment is under the agreement a portion of the cost is covered by health insurance;  the remainder is paid by the resident or complementary health insurance if the resident has one.
If the institution is not covered by a convention, all expenditures are borne by the establishment.
