What kind of health insurance is best for France ?

In order to best prepare your coming to France, it is important to think about the various offers of health insurance for expatriates. There are mainly two types of operation: so-called “first euro” insurance and insurance in addition to Social Security. The first category allows you to have a single contact and facilitate your refund process. The second category is also interesting if you are eligible for social security and will allow you to supplement social security reimbursements which often are limited to 70 of the actual costs.

On what criteria do you choose your expat insurance in France?

First, you need to determine your main need: high-level health coverage (in this case, turn to GoldImpat or FirstExpat) or rather coverage for serious accidents? (EuropeAccess might be suitable for you)

Then, once this need is clearly established, Mondassur advises you to pay attention to various essential points:

  • possible deductibles
  • possible waiting times
  • possible exclusions (playing a sport at a professional level, etc.)
  • global ceilings but also by medical procedure
  • check the options included in the additional options (repatriation, civil liability, dental and optical care, maternity…)
