You are now affiliated with the French Social Security (also called Assurance Maladie or CPAM)! Well done! However, you’re not sure how the French healthcare reimbursement system works and what level of reimbursement to expect. French healthcare is different from the healthcare system of the other countries I’ve lived in (Ireland, UK, Argentina, Spain among others). And the system can be a bit complex, especially if you want to know how much you’ll be reimbursed.
