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 the French social security system, the Assurance Maladie will reimburse you at a later date.

 

UNDERSTANDING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

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.
