Obtaining Health Insurance with a Pre-Existing Condition

Hello Paula33483,

During the 3 first months, if you are not working in France or not living in France for 3 months or if you don't receive a state retired pension from France or an European country, you could not join the French health system.

If you reached three months of residency and you alreafy applied to be covered under the French health system, you will get a social security number and your rights will start from the first day your CPAM received your complete file.

Unfortunately, we can't give you advices regarding the private insurance and how to sign a contract with it.

However, if you need emergency care, you will find informations reading this topic : https://forum-assures.ameli.fr/questions/1693097-soins-urgents-vitaux-ame

Anyway, if you need some help regarding this request, you can contact the CPAM’s English speaking line.

Have a nice day.
