How long can we live in France with using EHIC?

If your living in France for less than half a year, then you use your EHIC, I would however take out top up insurance, a 4 day hospital visit with an operation would have cost including consultations before hand, visits by nurse after, and medications would have cost me close on €6000, it cost me nothing, without the top up I would have been liable to %30 of that. My migraine tablets are on prescription, cost without any health cover €53, my asthma inhaler €69, my husbands diabetic tablets €53 a month, these costs can be crippling if your not covered, I know of people who have no top up, I know of some without any cover. Please, make sure you are covered.

Thanks for your information that was most helpfull, can i get top-up insurance from any company you is it best to go to specalist insurance companies can you recommend any?

Kind regards
