French term or phrase: TICKET MODÉRATEUR
I am translating (French to English) a medical description of Behcet's disease.

My (second) question is this:

Dans ses formes graves et/ou compliquées, la maladie de Behçet rentre dans le cadre des affections de longue durée, avec exonération du TICKET MODÉRATEUR.

Can anyone clarify what "TICKET MODERATOR" means in this context?
Thank you!

Part of medical costs paid by the patient.


Explanation:
Le remboursement des frais d'assurance maladie n'est pas intégral. Il est modulé et l'assuré prend à sa charge une partie de la dépense appelée "ticket modérateur" dont le montant varie en fonction de la nature des soins ou de la qualité du bénéficiaire.
