SOME DRUGS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY IN HOSPITALS OR HAVE TO BE PRESCRIBED BY SPECIALISTS IN HOSPITALS
In these cases, the patient will have to come to Paris, sometimes only for the first prescription, sometimes every year.
They are “worth the trip”, since these medicines are often especially expensive. Care2care has contracted with different specialists, professors of medicine in teaching hospitals, who will receive our patients and take care of them.
A recent study conducted by the House Ways and Means committee made it clear as it appears in the slide below:
While being the same drugs than those you find in the US, drugs and particularly specialty drugs are incredibly less expensive in France than in the USA…
To further highlight this fact, a quick glance at the chart below says it all: these kind of drugs are far more affordable in France than in the US, generating huge savings for the medical traveler and his employer.
