In the US the best general translatiion is "medical invoice," while medical claim form is only submitted through an insurance company. A 'medical invoice' may be issued directly to a patient and paid upon release from medical facility or at the doctor's office.
franglish (asker) Oct 12, 2012:
Thank you all Considering all your suggestions and taking into account Swiss specificities, I've decided to go with 'reimbursement receipt.
Marie Jackson Oct 11, 2012:
@franglish In my experience there is very little difference between the two documents in France... I think perhaps a box was ticked and it was on slightly more official-looking paper! My suggestion is of course just a good guess and I'm not 100% confident, but the translation is certainly not "claim form" (which I would expect to be submitted separately or with this document) or the claim itself. It's more like a supporting document to show that you're not claiming money you shouldn't, I believe.
franglish (asker) Oct 11, 2012:
@Marie the only difference in the two bills is that the one for one's health insurance is itemized. The French translation in Switzerland is 'justificatif de remboursement'.
Marie Jackson Oct 11, 2012:
Well the Rechnungskopie is just a copy of the invoice... I've submitted a suggestion but it's not absolutely watertight. France has a similar system - which I've experienced first-hand - so hopefully the answer will help!
franglish (asker) Oct 11, 2012:
Hi Marie It's the name of the described document. With it one gets a 'Rechnungskopie', for the patient to be kept.
Marie Jackson Oct 11, 2012:
... Do you have a full sentence for context or is this the title of the document?

[confirmed] reimbursement claim

proof signed by some authority
Note from asker:
Thanks for your suggestion, gangles.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Marie Jackson : I'm not sure if this is quite right. If the reimbursement were confirmed, this would be by the authorities, and my impression is that this document is simply the initial document provided by the doctor for the purposes of making a claim.

Reimbursement certificate

Without further context I would suggest this answer. I believe that there is a similar system in France whereby you have to have a specific form filled out by your doctor/medical professional for you to be able to get a reimbursement from social security. A simple invoice is not enough (I speak from experience!).

If you're interested, the equivalent French document is the so-called "relevé de remboursement".
Note from asker:
Thanks for your lively contribution, Marie. As I've explained, in Switzerland the itemized reimbursement receipt is the only document needed to get refunding from one's health insurance. Less complicated than elsewhere, it seems.

Thank you, Andres. The CERN has its own health insurance scheme and uses a different system from the public health insurer's.

medical claim form / medical refund demand OR request / claim demanding payment of benefits

You or your providers file medical claim forms.
Most hospitals and many doctors require direct payment of benefits through an Assignment of Benefits form and will submit the claim for you.
In some instances your doctor may bill you directly, and you will need to submit a claim form to Cigna HealthCare for reimbursment of a percentage of the covered expenses after you've met your annual deductible.
Example sentence:

Complete and sign the medical claim form, indicating whether the doctor or hospital has been paid.

Note from asker:
Thank you, Ingrid. In Switzerland, we receive an itemized bill from the doctor/hospital specifically for our health insurer. All we need do is send it in to be reimbursed. So in fact it is simply a reimbursement receipt. I'll stick to that translation.
