Hello vk93,

First, the processing times vary depending on the number of files awaiting processing by your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM). However they are rarely less than 10 weeks.

While waiting for her membership to become effective, your wife must pay for her healthcare.

She can request reimbursement once she has been given a social security number.

She will then need to fill in the care forms she was given when she received healthcares (brown papers) with her social security number, name and address and send them by post to the caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM) of Paris.

To know more, I advise you read this topic entitled: "How to be covered if I am a « Passeport talent » or a « Passeport talent famille » holder ?"

If you need help regarding your 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.
