The PID is the CNS’s most modern reimbursement system, officially deployed since March 19, 2024 for and doctors in Luxembourg.
It replaces the old system, where patients had to pay the full cost upfront, then wait several weeks for reimbursement from the CNS.
With PID, the process is fully automated and instantaneous:
The CNS reimburses 88% of conventional rates for affiliated adults. You pay only the remaining 12% (the co-payment) and any supplements for personal convenience (materials outside the nomenclature).
Good to know: Each adult is entitled to an annual fee of €79.22 (as at 01.05.2025), covered 100% by the CNS. This means that part of your treatment is completely free each year.
For children and adolescents under the age of 18: conventional dental treatment is covered at 100% by the CNS.
Parents usually pay nothing for a check-up or routine care.
With Tiers Payant/PID, say goodbye to cash advances and tedious formalities.
We use CNS-approved software, guaranteeing secure, standards-compliant management.
These documents are fully dematerialized via the PID :
Treatments requiring a prior estimate
Some more complex procedures require prior authorization from the Contrôle Médical de la Sécurité Sociale (CMSS) before the PID can be applied. We can take care of this for you:
Care not covered by CNS nomenclature (not reimbursed)
These two devices are often confused – here’s the essential distinction:
If you think you may be eligible for Tiers Payant Social, please contact your local social services office before your consultation.
