Long hospitalization (pregnancy related) before receiving Carte de Sejour and CPAM registration

Hello Alexis,

First, you have to know that for a person without any job, the coverage is done on the date of complete filing of the file (regularity and stability of residence in France  for more than 3 months). If this is the case for your wife , she can expect to be refunded for her expenses.

If you cannot pay the fees in advance, I suggest you to contact the social worker at the hospital to explain the situation.

Regarding your own coverage, if you are in a regular situation, it is the date of your first day at work that will be selected. In this case the rigths are therfore retroactive.

Then, because of safety and confidentiality issues, we can’t reach any of your information or file from this forum.

The processing times vary depending on the type of files and the number of files being processed by your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM).

If you need help regarding this request, you can contact the CPAM’s English or French Advice Lines.

Have a nice day.
