Hello MiaFPO

The processing time depends on the number of files being received by your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM).

As we do not have access to your file, I advise you to contact a counselor about your application to health insurance.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

I sent my application and all the required documents by post around two weeks ago, but I have not received any confirmation or update since then. I am therefore unsure whether my letter was received or if my application is currently being processed.

How I can check the status of my application?

Have a nice day

Bonjour MiaFPO,

Depending on the amount of compensation you receive during your internship, you will either remain registered with your Portuguese health insurance scheme or you may need to apply to register with the French health insurance system.

I suggest you read this article on the centre des liaisons européennes et internationales de sécurité sociale (Cleiss) website, which provides an overview of internships in France for national of European Economic Area (EEA).

If your compensation allows, you will have to follow the instructions mentioned in this topic named how to be covered if I am working with a French contract ?.

Have a nice day
