So passport stamping will be a thing of the past?

Goodness, that sounds like a lot of work for a sunny Saturday afternoon. If I tried that, I’d have forgotten why I had started before I was half way through :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I want to thank both @anon37731102 and @graham for their posts, this is an informative topic and indeed thanks to all contributors. And if there’s any ‘grey’ areas or a post is maybe not quite correct or misunderstood etc, that’s OK for me too because as an advice consumer I do read across all posts etc and I appreciate all advice / thoughts is offered on a sort of ‘best efforts’ basis.

Hope everyone keeps on contributing!

good of you to say so @larkswood12 Thank you.

Yup, that’ll be the aim I presume going forward - any further healthcare work done in France in the next few years - it’s just she had those consultants booked in from pre-Covid really, so it was prob best to keep in that system for the pre-existing…

Roll on a good mutuelle!

And her mum wasn’t in France anyway though of course those medical needs may not count for absence. But as said if no passport stamping then unlikely to become an issue?

Have you started looking at Mutuelles?? (pre-existing doesn’t matter in France…)

There are many… @fabien will be your guiding light through the fog - tailored exactly as you need it. He placed us with Swiss Life - maybe not the least expensive but they certainly pay up promptly and give us greater confidence.

I recall reading the thread and have had a fabian quote and also one from the bank -which was actually less! 100 euro / month for two, GP, hospital, outpatients at 100% reimbursement - Understand that if consultants needed might need to consider a higher reimbursment rate…

choosing a mutuelle will need a fair degree of thought…

Generally speaking, something like 150% reimbursement seems to work well, given that the 100% is only 100% of the statutory amount, not the real amount. I have a bank mutuelle which does 100% and it doesn’t cover the whole of “normal” specialist appointments - I’ve not yet tried expensive consultant appointments although I think that is in the post!
