What French immigrants need to know about the medical system

France has a universal medical system called "universal disease protection". This system grants automatic and continuous health care rights to people legally living in France in a "stable and normal" way. This means that if you have lived in France for three consecutive months and are a permanent legal resident, that is, you have lived in France for at least 183 days every year, you are eligible to apply for public medical insurance. If you are legally employed in France and pay French social security, you are eligible to join this system immediately. Because having medical insurance is a mandatory requirement for legal life in France, if it does not conform to the French system, you must have private insurance.

Fortunately, it is feasible to provide medical insurance for foreigners at a reasonable price. There are also some British companies that specialize in providing medical services for foreigners.

The cost of seeing a doctor in France depends on whether you choose an unregistered doctor, a private doctor or a registered doctor. So the cost of each visit ranges from 20 euros to 80 euros. Most professionals speak English.

Hospitals receive treatment and the conditions for reimbursement of medical expenses vary from hospital to hospital. Unless it is an emergency, you should check the reimbursement conditions before signing the admission. For example, your medical insurance may only cover your treatment in public hospitals, not in private clinics.

France's social security system includes treatment in public hospitals and clinics with traditional status. The cost of treatment in the first month is 80%, and then it is 100%. All surgical expenses are reimbursed 100%, and some major diseases such as cancer are reimbursed 100%. Regardless of the cost of treatment and surgery, a non-reimbursable accommodation fee of about 10 euro per day will be charged.

In private clinics, you can only reimburse 10% of medical expenses unless you have funds to make up the difference.
