Hey Siva,

Great to hear you're coming to our country.

Concerning your health care insurance, everything depends on what you're going to do in France. If you get a job legally, then you will be covered just as French would be (National Social Security + Complementary plan paid by your employer).

But if you're not planning to work or can't find a job, i think the best solution is to get an international healthcare plan that will cover your medical expenses.

I know a new plan that is particularly good for impatriates, developped by Allianz Worldwide Care. It's called Indigo and you can have a look at their website at assurance sante expatrie Indigo (you can google it!)

Good luck

Am trying to get insurance from my home country provider (INDIA). And it doesnt have good terms.

Can I travel on a short term insurance ( say 2 months ) & then apply for health insurance with a local provider?

Would it be of normal cost or astronomical for the expats?

Will the co-pay be equivalent as that of US insurance providers. My Indian provider says that he can not reimburse expenses below EUR 70

Thanks
Siva
