Hi,

My girlfriend is german, and just arrived in Paris...

So she wonder about the health coverage :

Does there is a way to go to a german medical center, that can handle the fees,
with her german security health coverage ???

Please let us know, if you are german, living in Paris, wich solution you do ; -)

Thanx much,
Vielen Danke.

Hi weex and welcome to Expa.com,

Is your girlfriend visiting France or has she settled down?

Also does she have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)?

Have a great day

As she has a EHIC, she should have no trouble in getting care.

I know, but the question was more :

Is there any center ? medical center ? or any gynecololist, that would accept this card, to be able to NOT pay in advance the fees ???

Or at least only the minimum... not all of it... how does it work ??

thanx much
