About this procedure
To be reimbursed for healthcare in France you need a social security number and, ideally, a carte Vitale. The process is handled by your local CPAM (health insurance fund) and can be slow if your file is incomplete. The assistant helps you determine which situation you are in (employee, student, self-employed, family member), assemble the right documents, submit your application and follow up until your carte Vitale arrives.
Documents usually involved
- Valid passport or ID
- Full birth certificate (often translated)
- Proof of address in France
- Proof of your status (work contract, enrolment, etc.)
- RIB (French bank details) for reimbursements
Your done-for-you dossier turns this into a checklist tailored to your exact case.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
It varies widely by CPAM and how complete your file is, from a few weeks to several months. A complete file with a translated birth certificate is the biggest time-saver.
Can I be treated before I have my carte Vitale?
Yes. You can be reimbursed retroactively once registered. The assistant explains how to keep your care receipts and claim them.
Do I need to translate my birth certificate?
Often yes. Many CPAMs ask for a translation, sometimes by a sworn translator. The assistant tells you how to check your CPAM's requirement.
