Which on serious note leads me to wonder at the end of the day, when they have decided who is and isn't entitled to continuing in the CMU, just how many people will be affected and will it be worth insurers creating policies for a relative few which will diminish each year as more and more get E 121s? All sweetness and light on this part of the Forum.    Report

We are unable to give figures regarding the number of UK 'early retirees' in France who are not E106 holders, or indeed any figures regarding persons with pre-existing conditions. Kind regards.

27/09/2007, 13:08 Chassaing Joined on 25/09/2007 Perigord Posts 113 Re: Health Care Providers Hi everyone,  we are 2 healthy active Francofiles, of the few that have just completed their E106 cover waiting to join and pay into the French System, with a 19 month gap prior to the E121 arriving.  After 2 weeks of discussions with our CPAM man, who has been very helpful and genuinely unhappy not to be able to help, we have admitted to ourselves that the French system is closed to us. Even though we have been here and 'in' the system for 2 1/2 years, we have no extension until March 2008. We are chasing our complimetary insurance provider (AGF) this afternoon, to see if they are gearing up to this 'situation'.  That said, I had this promising reply today which indicates that these guys are on the case to fill the gap. We have been without health cover for a few weeks because the French system doesn't know what is going on and the health insurance wasn't ready for this change (complimentary insurance is invalid with no E106).  I hope this post helps others feel less alone.  (I have no affilliation with the company below) We have joined you guys in lobbying all and sundary as we believe the French Governments decision is not legal and against human rights. Thanks for all the support this forum offers to people like us. Thank you for your email. We do offer a range of Full Cover Policies, the details of which can be found on our website  www.exclusivehealthcare.com All the Full Cover Plans are subject to underwriting and acceptance of the terms are required. Following completion of the medical questions the insurers reserve the right to ask for special terms or to decline the proposal. We are also developing a new range of policies to meet the needs of the changed situation. Once these policies have been finalised the details  will be sent to you by email and you will be able to find them on our website  www.exclusivehealthcare.com   The home page of our website www.exclusivehealthcare.com does contain information of the current situation regarding CMU and is regularly updated.   Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.   Kind regards Polly Parsons EXCLUSIVE HEALTHCARE  tel:0870 449175    Report
