European students

EU students are exempt from having to register with the French student health security scheme. They will remain affiliated to the health insurance scheme in their home country. However, they should bring along with them the European Health Insurance Card. This card should be requested at the local health services agency in their home country before coming to France.

Students can forward their requests for reimbursements to the health agency in their home country or ask for reimbursement in France after a few necessary administrative procedures. Please be aware that this card will be required as well for the housing benefit (CAF).

Non- European students under 28 years old

Non-EU students enrolled in a degree-awarding program must register with one of the two student health insurance schemes: MEP or LMDE.

Students need to fill a form upon arrival and pay 215€/ academic year (depending on your situation, Telecom Paris or EURECOM will be responsible for collecting this sum). The social security coverage starts on october; 1st  2015 until september; 30th 2016.

Non European students over 28 years old

Non European students over 28 years of age before October 1st are not entitled to the French student health security scheme. They must take a private social and medical insurance (It can be a local surance from their country or a French private insurance).

They can be eligible for the free supplementary health insurance coverage (“Couverture Maladie Universelle Complémentaire” or “CMU-C”). If so, they need to make sure that the private social and medical insurance they subscribed to is without a deductible or a maximum limit. They also need to bring a statement of yearly income / financial resources received during the last two years (2013 and 2014) to receive it for free. The statement can be an official document from their previous employer (salary sheets) or tax certificate.
