As the Monaco Government continues with its promotion of e-government, state workers affiliated to the Medical Benefits Service (SPME) can now apply for reimbursement of medical bills in a secure electronic format directly from the medical practitioner’s office.

In the interests of security, none of the data are stored on the IT system of the practitioner and information is sent immediately to start the refund process.

SPME policyholders will no longer have to provide paper copies and the reimbursement period is between five and 10 days. Individuals will not have to make any other claim for repayment of medical expenses as they arise, the government says.
