Assurance Maladie

Assurance Maladie is France’s national health insurance system that provides coverage for medical expenses, hospital stays, prescriptions, and preventive care. Funded through payroll contributions and government funds, it ensures residents can access healthcare without bearing full costs themselves. The system typically covers a significant portion of medical bills, with patients paying the remaining out-of-pocket or through supplementary private insurance if desired. Assurance Maladie promotes public health by facilitating access to necessary medical services and encouraging preventive care, making healthcare affordable and accessible for all residents.
