Need help paying a French bill

Colcoops

My wee one hurt her finger while on holiday to France. We went to the local hospital who put in a couple of stitches. I have received a bill for 25 Euros. How do I go about sending them the money?

Actually shouldnt this bill have been covered with your european healthcard (the new e111), what about travel insurance,,,would they cover it?

Your bank should be able to help - take details of the French company's bank (bank name, account numbers etc) to the bank and they should be able to transfer it for you from your account. but it'll cost a bit more than a sterling payment.

Bank transfer is usually the easiest way to send money abroad, but check what the fee will be first, as might not be worth it for such a small amount (€25 = £15-20). Does it say anything on the bill about how to pay? (feel free to PM me if you need a translation, I speak French)

I know my bank (nationwide) will draw up a euro cheque. Can't remember if there's a charge though
