French Public Health Code
In forceI.-Where the purpose of a cooperation grouping is to use the authorisations held by one or more of its members, the decision of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency provided for in Article R. 6133-1-1 also includes:
1° Approval of the agreement setting up the grouping or any amendment thereto;
2° Where applicable, authorisation for the grouping to bill for care provided to patients on behalf of its members, specifying the scale of charges applicable to the grouping and the transmission by the grouping of the information required to analyse the care activities carried out jointly.
II - Where approval of the grouping's constituent agreement or its rider results in changes to the conditions under which authorisations for healthcare activities held by one or more of its members are implemented, a decision to modify the authorisations concerned is taken by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency and sent to each holder of the authorisations concerned, at the same time as the decision approving the grouping's constituent agreement or its rider.
The Director General of the Regional Health Agency notifies the relevant health insurance organisations of the approval of the healthcare cooperation grouping and, where applicable, of the grouping's authorisation to invoice. Where appropriate, a copy of the decision to modify the authorisations concerned is sent by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency to the relevant health insurance organisations.
