Countries covered : France
An invoice is a simple but regulated document. Properly drafted, it allows the patient to obtain a potential reimbursement from their supplementary health insurance and ensures your compliance.
This page details the mandatory information, the VAT rules, and the reimbursement framework, with a template to download.
Tax rules depend on your activity and your tax status. This content is for informational purposes; verify your situation with your accountant or the tax administration.
The framework: non-reimbursed, but transmissible to the supplementary health insurance
Dietitians' services are not reimbursed by Assurance Maladie, but a clear invoice allows the patient to send it to their supplementary health insurance. For details on rates and reimbursement conditions by supplementary health insurance, see our dedicated page on the price of a consultation and its reimbursement.
Mandatory information on an invoice
The VAT aspect
Care provided by dietitians, a profession regulated by Article L4371-1 of the French Public Health Code, is in principle exempt from VAT. Conversely, services aimed at aesthetics, well-being, or sports performance do not fall under this exemption and are subject to VAT at the standard rate.
If you benefit from the basic VAT exemption scheme (Art. 293 B of the CGI), your invoices must bear the statement "VAT not applicable, Article 293 B of the CGI". The applicable exemption basis depends on your activity: have it confirmed by your accountant.

Best practices
- Number your invoices sequentially without gaps and keep them (accounting obligations).
- Always issue the invoice, even if paid in cash: this is what enables reimbursement by the supplementary health insurance.
- Keep a single template to save time and avoid omitting mandatory information.
