Our company and its network of drivers provide seated medical transport, to or from the North, for people whose health condition allows them to travel in a conventional vehicle.
Specialist consultation, scheduled hospitalization, regular treatment or rehabilitation appointment: we organize the journeys taking into account medical schedules, distance and any mobility difficulties.
Located in the Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing area, We also operate in other municipalities in the department, Parisian hospital centers and certain Belgian destinations.
Medical monitoring can lead to consult near home or in a distant facility. Our contracted taxi service in the North meets these different situations by providing local, regional and long-distance travel.
We serve, in particular, the Lille University Hospital, the hospitals of Tourcoing, Douai, Valenciennes, Lens, Béthune and Amiens, as well as clinics, specialist practices and rehabilitation facilities.
The pick-up can be from your home, a nursing home, a medical or social care facility, or another agreed address. The driver will plan their route based on the building you need, available access, and your pick-up time.
Our A CPAM-approved VSL taxi is an alternative to an ambulance. when the patient does not require transport lying down or continuous medical monitoring.
Transportation needs vary depending on the medical condition, the frequency of appointments, and the treatment plan. Our services include, in particular: travel related to long-term illnesses (ALD), work-related accidents, hospitalizations, dialysis sessions, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or functional rehabilitation.
We can also refer patients to a cardiologist, neurologist, pulmonologist, surgeon or other specialist practicing in a public or private institution.
For repeated treatments, dates can be grouped in a calendar to plan successive appointments. When a consultation requires a round trip, the return journey arrangements are determined based on the anticipated duration of treatment and availability.
The physician remains responsible for determining the medically appropriate mode of transport between taxi, VSL or ambulance.
Some pathologies require expertise available at a national reference center. Our A long-distance VSL (light medical transport) taxi service allows you to reach Paris from Lille, Tourcoing, Roubaix, Valenciennes or other locations in the North.
We serve, in particular, the Pitié-Salpêtrière, Georges-Pompidou European Hospital, Necker–Enfants Malades, Saint-Louis, Lariboisière, Bichat–Claude-Bernard, Cochin and Robert-Debré. These establishments offer a variety of specialties, including neurology, cardiology, pediatrics, hematology and complex surgery.

Each trip is studied based on mileage, schedule and pick-up options.
The contracted taxi is a private public transport vehicle that has entered into an agreement with the Health Insurance system. He can carry out certain prescribed medical trips, under the conditions provided for by the regulations.
However, it is important to distinguish between a contracted taxi and a light medical transport vehicle (VSL). These two categories can meet a requirement for professionalized seated transport, but they do not fall under the same status.
The choice belongs to the doctor, who assesses in particular the patient's autonomy and needs during the journey.
The agreement does not automatically guarantee reimbursement. This depends on the medical reason, the insured's rights and the required supporting documents.
To request coverage for your VSL 59 approved taxi, You will generally need a medical prescription for transport., sometimes called a transport voucher.
Prepared by your doctor before travel, except in cases of regulatory exceptions., It specifies the mode of transport justified by your situation. This document may relate to hospitalization, certain care related to a long-term illness, a work accident, or other situations entitling the patient to reimbursement.
Before your appointment, Check that the necessary information is included on the prescription. and correspond to the planned journey. The driver can inform you about the documents usually required, but he cannot issue the prescription or decide on the medical eligibility of the journey.
When traveling under a medical agreement, bring your updated health insurance card, your prescription and, when necessary, your prior consent.
Health insurance generally reimburses eligible transportation costs. up to 55%, with coverage that can reach 100% in certain regulatory situations.
For the patients concerned, Third-party payment avoids having to pay upfront the portion directly covered.. A financial contribution may nevertheless remain applicable according to the laws and rules in force. In the absence of third-party payment, the billing documents can be used to submit a reimbursement request to the health insurance fund.
Some diseases require prolonged monitoring and frequent trips to specialized facilities. This is particularly the case for patients being treated for heart failure, Parkinson's disease, cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes or certain neurological conditions.
However, recognition of a long-term illness that exempts one from co-payments is not sufficient on its own to make all VSL-approved transport services reimbursable.
Travel must comply with the prescribed medical conditions, This is especially important when the treatment is related to long-term illness (ALD) and the patient's condition warrants the prescribed method. For a series of appointments, we recommend verifying these details before scheduling all the trips in the 59th district.
The journeys of more than 150 kilometers each way generally require a Request for prior approval from the Health Insurance, Except in specific cases. This formality may also apply to certain types of transport and travel to specialized facilities.
The request is prepared by the prescriber. In principle, the absence of a response within fifteen days of receipt constitutes agreement, subject to applicable rules. Before booking a long-distance journey with a VSL 59 approved taxi, make sure that the necessary steps have been taken.
