French government's healthcare update:
French government's new decision on access
to the French healthcare system for inactive citizens from other EU countries
Following
representations made to the French government, we can confirm that the French Health
Ministry has modified its decision regarding access to the French healthcare system
for inactive citizens from other EU countries already residing in France.
According
to the French Health Ministry's official revised statement and Q&A factsheet:
The
position is:
* Inactive EU citizens already living in France and already registered
and accessing healthcare via the CMU before 23 November 2007 will now be allowed
to continue to do so.
* After 5 years of "regular, uninterrupted residence" in France,
an EU citizen qualifies as a permanent French resident and will therefore have access
to healthcare via the CMU.
* The position remains that all inactive EU citizens under
retirement age living in France now or in future who are not entitled to healthcare
reimbursement (through the E106 or E109 forms) or to access to the French health
system will be required to have their own personal health insurance until they reach
UK state pension age (and therefore qualify for entitlement to the E121 form), or
until they qualify as a French resident (after 5 years of "regular, uninterrupted
residence").
* We have ensured that the French authorities are fully aware of the
specific circumstances of E106 holders already resident in France who do not have
existing access to CMU and who may not be able to secure private health insurance
for various reasons when their E106 expires. Following discussions to highlight the
need for urgent clarification in cases where the E106 is due to expire imminently,
we have been told that people will have the safeguard of essential immediate healthcare
provision. We are expecting a response in the next few days from the Health Ministry
to give further detail for people in these circumstances.
* As previously, people
already over retirement age who are holders of an E121 which is registered with the
French authorities will remain unaffected.
This information is based on what we have
been told by the French authorities. We suggest people seek further information and
advice on individual cases from one or more of the following:
