What is the “tiers payant” (third-party payment)?

In the exam (French)

Qu'est-ce que le tiers payant ?

  1. aA tax taken from wagesUn impôt prélevé sur les salaires
  2. bCompulsory car insuranceUne assurance obligatoire pour la voiture
  3. cA bank loan for medical careUn prêt de la banque pour les soins
  4. dNo upfront payment for medical careUne dispense d’avance des frais de santéCorrect answer

Why?

With third-party payment (tiers payant), the insured person does not pay in advance, or pays only part of, the cost of the consultation or medicines. Health Insurance (Assurance maladie) and, where applicable, the top-up health insurance pay the professional directly. It has nothing to do with a tax or with the bank.
