Your cover
In France, the state covers part of your medical costs and a complementary health policy (mutuelle) covers the rest. We help you put the right top-up in place so you are not left paying the difference.
The gap between what the state reimburses and what you actually pay for care, prescriptions and hospital stays.
Higher reimbursement for hospital stays, including a private room and daily charges.
Stronger cover for dental work, glasses and contact lenses, where state reimbursement is low.
Help with the cost of specialists, physiotherapy and everyday care.
Solutions for people not yet in the French system or waiting for their Carte Vitale.
Cover tailored to couples and families, including children, under one clear policy.
Local cover
Many of the people we help in Niort are navigating the French health system for the first time, waiting for a Carte Vitale or wondering how a mutuelle fits alongside it. We explain how the pieces work together and set up a top-up that matches how you and your family use local care.
