As I said in my previous posts, I didn’t pay a single euro, my foreign private insurance paid for everything. It’s a long story but although I’m French and actually still have my social security card, I live in Germany and have an awesome international health insurance. So instead of making the French social security pay for the surgery, I asked my insurance to pay for it and they did.
I provided the 9.5k€ figure for fellow FT members as an information, because foreigners will have to pay that. Health care is not free in France or anywhere else, someone has to pay in the end (either through taxes or directly through medical bills). Many people have asked me how much Dr Beley costs.
30 years old French with ED caused by priapism episodes at the age of 15. Implanted with 21cm + 3cm RTEs AMS 700 CX MS pump on 05/12/2024 by Dr Sébastien Beley. Pills had lost most of their potency, injections worked but were painful and inconvenient.
