FAQ
Is an X-ray free in Morocco?
Free for AMO Tadamon beneficiaries in public hospitals. For CNSS / CNOPS members, 80% of the TNR reference rate is reimbursed. Uninsured: public hospitals charge ~DH 50 for basic X-rays.
How much is AMO reimbursement?
80% of the Tarif National de Référence (TNR). If your private provider charges above TNR, the difference is out-of-pocket. Conventioned providers keep fees close to TNR, reducing your exposure.
Why are Casablanca and Rabat more expensive?
Urban premium. Private centres in the two biggest cities charge 20–40% more than regional cities. Often justified by equipment quality and specialist availability, but regional centres are frequently adequate for routine imaging.
Is RAMED still available?
RAMED was absorbed into AMO Tadamon in recent reforms. The benefit is similar — free public-sector care for low-income Moroccans — but administered within the unified AMO framework via CNSS.
Do expats qualify for AMO?
Expats working for a Moroccan employer are enrolled in CNSS and receive AMO benefits. Self-employed expats and retirees may enrol in CNSS voluntarily. Private insurance is also common.
Can I pay in euros at Moroccan clinics?
Dirham (MAD) is standard. Some private clinics serving medical tourists accept EUR or USD credit cards, but expect to pay in dirham at most facilities.
