Immediate Direct Payment (PID)

DSC_0105-2

PID (Immediate Direct Payment) is an innovative solution that makes it easier to access dental treatments in Luxembourg. This system allows the reimbursed amount to be paid directly to healthcare professionals, eliminating the need for upfront payments by the individual.

PID – But how does it work? And who is eligible? In this article, Bouche Dental Group explains everything you need to know.

What is PID?

PID (Paiement Immédiat Direct) is a system introduced by the CNS and other national reimbursement schemes such as CMFEP or CMFEC. It enables the immediate payment of the reimbursable portion of a dental treatment.

In other words, there is no need to pay the full amount in advance: the reimbursed part is transferred directly to the healthcare professional, and the individual only pays the remaining balance, if applicable.

Who can benefit from PID?

PID is available to:

  • Individuals registered with the CNS or other recognized social security systems (such as CMFEP or CMFEC)

  • Residents in Luxembourg who undergo eligible dental treatments

How does PID work at Bouche Dental Group?

  • Find your dentist via the Bouche Dental Group online booking platform

  • Provide your CNS card number when booking

  • After your appointment, the dental network submits the invoice in real time

  • CNS or another system validates the reimbursed portion, and you only pay the remaining amount (if any)

This process is quick, simple, and hassle-free.
