What do you need help with?

France (CFE)

CFE, complementary cover & return to France

Public, employer & private care

For France, confirm residence-based or employment-based public-health enrollment with Assurance Maladie. If considering CFE, obtain its current eligibility, benefits and reimbursement basis separately; do not treat CFE and the local public system as interchangeable or assume full provider bills are reimbursed.

Finding care where you stay

Ask how public benefits, any complementary cover and IPMI coordinate. Compare reimbursement basis, remaining charges, specialist referrals and private provider arrangements using current documents. Confirm medicines and continuing care before moving.
