Complementary health insurance, what for?

Have you paid for a doctor's visit, hospitalization, medication? You have surely noticed that Social Security does not reimburse you for 100% of your health expenses.

In the event of hospitalization, for example, the compulsory plan covers 80% of the costs, but the remaining 20% to be paid can represent a significant sum. Optical and dental care, which is often very expensive, is hardly reimbursed. Certain treatments such as acupuncture and osteopathy are not covered by Social Security.

In the end, these supplements can be very heavy on your budget.

Your complementary health insurance supplements the reimbursement of Social Security. Depending on the formula chosen, it also helps you pay for unsupported services, such as excess fees, vaccines, alternative medicine, etc.

If you are informed late, you have a further 20 days from the date of receipt of the letter to terminate the renewal of your mutual insurance contract.

If you have not received anything by the contract expiry date, it can be terminated at any time without penalty.

Only "non-life" individual insurance contracts with tacit renewal, insuring individuals outside their professional activity, are affected by this law.
