Frequently asked questions

What is FrancExpatSanté?
It is an exclusive careXpat plan that supplements the Caisse des Français de l'Étranger (CFE). While the CFE reimburses costs based on the statutory scheme's rates, FrancExpatSanté increases reimbursement for your healthcare in France to up to 100% of actual costs.
How does it work with the CFE?
The CFE reimburses you first, under the French scheme's rules. The careXpat top-up plan then covers the remaining eligible costs, through a single channel. Submit your treatment forms and paid invoices through your CFE member account.
Do I need to be a CFE member already?
FrancExpatSanté is designed for expatriates who have chosen the CFE. If you are not yet a member, our advisers can help you apply for CFE membership and top-up cover at the same time.
How much can I be reimbursed?
Depending on your chosen level of cover, healthcare expenses incurred in France can be reimbursed up to 100% of actual costs, combining the CFE reimbursement and careXpat top-up cover.
Are my dependants covered?
Yes. Your spouse and children can benefit from the same cover, under a single policy with a single point of contact.
What options are available to employees?
Through the CFE, employees can take out additional protection (daily allowances, a lump-sum death benefit and disability cover), cover for workplace accidents and occupational illnesses, and contribute towards the basic state pension. careXpat adds assistance and repatriation cover, plus an additional lump-sum death benefit.
