Non-European Union Students:
- Under 28 years old and staying in France for longer than 3 months : Even if you come to France with your own health insurance, you must take out the French Health Insurance (Sécurité Sociale). The annual premium is to be paid for the entire academic year. The cost for 2009/2010 is 198 Euros no matter when the students come to France (Fall Semester or Spring Semester). It is valid from October 1 to September 30. It reimburses about 70 % of medical cost.
You may get a complementary student cover to obtain better reimbursements. This cover is distinct from the affiliation to the “Sécurité Sociale”.
>Complementary student cover (Mutuelle étudiante) This is optional, but highly recommended to all students. Subscription costs vary depending on the insurance company and the option chosen. (Cost: from 75 € per year)
Note: Students from Quebec are exempt from taking out the French Health Insurance (Sécurité Sociale)
