Foreign students : your French health insurance

In France, the social security covers the medical expenses for every one. As foreign students, you can be covered by this health insurance without any charge.

In order to be covered by the French health insurance you will need to :

• upload the required supporting documents (for example your bank identification details, IBAN to be refunded).

It is important to notify your health insurance company of any changes and keep all your personal information updated (address, RIB, dedicated doctor) to benefit from all the services available to you.
