Is the English CPAM line still in operation? Is there an email to write to ?

Bonjour, I have tried to call the French Health Insurance English Advice Line (09 74 75 36 46) multiple times over multiple days, each time I call it says that they are "exceptionally closed" - is this line still in operation ?
I need to get my carte vitale because as I was in the process of receiving it, I moved homes so the documents were lost.
I cannot email them because the online portal does not let me register, and I see that there is no direct email I can write to ?
Is there an office I can visit ? Because calling the French line will be very difficult for me with my limited French skills... thank you

Hello Vivian,

The English speaking line can be difficult to reach during opening hours due to an excessive amount of calls, I am sorry for the inconvenience. 

I invite you to contact a counselor when the line is less demanded, from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. 

If you have difficulties to access ameli account, you can reach a agent from "France services. You can find the closest France service structure here: https://www.france-services.gouv.fr/

Have a nice day.

Vivian - Welcome to France! What you are experiencing is a common pain point for foreigners. Exceptionally closed is a message I got for a month. When the finally answer they could not tell me a thing because they “case worker” did not register the receipt of the additional documents, nor did he/she upload anything. They will also likely tell you that they will send a message to your case worker and that he or she will call or email you. That as far as I know from my experience, is a fairy tale.

I was told that there is no office to visit for a pending case and that the only option is sending a letter.

Personally, I’m starting to believe that the system is intentionally inefficient as a way to skirt the EU regulations/agreements. Good luck.

I got the same message about being exceptionally closed for close to a month. Papers are lost, case agents don’t upload files so that the English line can assist. The standard answer is that they send a message to the case worker who will contact you via phone or email. It never happens. I’m getting the feeling that the process is intentionally slow to skirt EU regulations/agreements.

Only way to contact them is via mail as I have been told.
