Health insurance
In France it is compulsory for all students to have health insurance cover.
You will need to ask for a European Health card and bring it with you to France. You will then be exempt from registering with the French Health Insurance.
| Under the French National Health System (Sécurité Sociale), you are required to pay for visits to the doctor and the subsequent medicines prescribed which are then refunded later on. The amount refunded varies considerably (from 70 % for a visit to a General Practitioner to 35 % for certain medicines). |
→ If you are going to stay in France less than 3 months: Your international health insurance certificate (in English) from your home country will be accepted, and exempt you from registering with the French social security
→If you are going to stay in France more than 3 months and if you are UNDER 28 years old : Even if you have private health insurance, you are still required to apply for French health Insurance either at the LMDE or the SMEREB (student health insurance company). It costs around EUR 200 to register. Once registered, you will receive a social security number that you should have with you for medical appointments or treatment. The application form will be provided on your arrival by the International office of Burgundy School of Business.
