Hello truexfalse,

An S1 form is a healthcare certificate that entitles you and any dependants to healthcare in another EU (European Union) country on the same basis as a resident of that country.

The S1 will permit the social security system in Greece to affiliate you and to take charge of your medical expenses. This allows reciprocity with the French social security system, and for a period of time as indicated on the S1 form.

When you come back to France, you can keep using your french social security number.

If you need help regarding this request, you can contact the CPAM’s English or French Advice Lines. More information in the following topic: How to call the French Health Insurance Advice Lines?

Have a nice day

I also got an email from the mediatrice again. Processing time for the issuance of the definitive number is between 3 and 8 months. She said my file is already sent to SANDIA, so there is no further delay from their part( the CPAM), but any additional delay could be caused by the number of files processed by SANDIA.

So, in this case, it is a matter of the S1? I was trying just to confirm that before contacting my CPAM, as there are significant delays (cannot use Ameli account) and I have to be concise when I write to them.
The S1 is needed when you transfer rights between two countries?
And what happens if I return to France? Do I have to request an S1 from Greece, or I have to notify the CPAM that I am back?
One more question, indeed. In which way the S1 will affect my rights in France?
Additionally, since the issuance of an S1 depends on criteria, could you please tell me what are the criteria for an S1?
In case I cannot get the S1, I will have to be in Greece with the French EHIC? (A little inconvenient, as reimbursement works differently in that case, in Greece).
On the other hand it would not be so strange, as I have been with the Greek EHIC in France for a while, so the reverse can happen.

Hello truexfalse,

If your CPAM (caisse primaire d'assurance maladie ) agrees to give you the S1 form, it will enable you to have rights in Greece thanks to a transfer of yours rights that you have in France. Unfortunately, because of some safety and confidentiality issues, we can’t reach any of your information or file from this forum and we are not able to let you know if you can have it.

For your definitive number, I will advice you to contact your local CPAM office because the processing times vary depending on the type of files and the number of files being processed by your CPAM.

Have a nice day.
