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?

27/09/2007, 11:41 Mrs B Joined on 05/10/2005 Posts 17 Re: Health Care Providers I have just received the attached email from the British Embassy on potential numbers of people looking for health insurance and I have forwarded to Kurt Harper:   "There are potentially 7420 'early retirees' from the UK who are resident in France and whose E106 will expire over the next 2.5 years. 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 lebois Joined on 25/09/2007 Perigord Posts 104 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 French Health Issues Website    Report

Does anyone have the phone nos for the companies and insurance brokers as am getting no reply to emails (deluged no doubt)? Would it be prudent to wait a few months as new policies tailor made for this may come out and be cheaper, or do you think the cos will up their tarifs to take advantage of us all?    Report

The 'stuff' on the websites is great if you you are in CMU, but we were are in the gap.  Our E106 has just run out and we are now new applicants to CMU, response, sorry! That will be the same for all E106 holders that run out before March 31st 2008. Apparently, there are over 6000 E106s issued per year, so about 500 a month will start to drop out from now, then at the end of March all the CMU members drop out the system (who knows how many). We are working on our problem and of course be altuistic with our information when we have something useful to offer.  The E121 is the ticket to get.   But the destination of the French Health System is unnown, we didn't cause the financial problems.  You could always pitch up at the job centre at 58-9 or 63-4 years old and ask for a job!
