Health Insurance

Hi,



I’m moving to France in a couple of weeks for an indefinate period.



I have both Australian and UK citizenship.



Do I need to take out travel insurance for a while until I get established, or is there some sort of agreement in emergencies e.g falling of bicycle / skis / bus and breaking something that would cover me?



Thank you for your comments :slight_smile:



Kind Regards,

David

Hi there:

Where are you currently located?

If you are UK based and are in the NHS you can get your EHIC which will sort of cover you temporarily (though you should technically take out private health cover.) Note they only pay the French rate.

If you are not in the UK then it will be the private route.

Other option is to just self pay.
