FROM NAVIGATING THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM TO PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE OPTIONS
This guide will introduce you to French healthcare.
SOCIAL SECURITY
If you are a legal resident and are employed by a company in France, you and your family will be entitled to full coverage under the French social security system, the Sécurité Sociale.
REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL FEES
In France you will be required to pay the full bill at the time of treatment. If you are covered by French social security system, you will be reimbursed at a later date by the public health insurance fund (Assurance Maladie).
UNDERSTANDING FRENCH HEALTHCARE
Find an English-speaking specialist in your area or the right number to call in an emergency. Learn about the new health insurance card (carte Vitale) or read our glossary of French healthcare terms.
