Healthcare for French expatriates: what the CFE does and doesn't do

France's Sécurité sociale stops covering you the day you leave the country. The Caisse des Français de l'Étranger exists to replace that base layer, reimbursing on French tariffs wherever you live.

The problem is that French tariffs bear no relation to what treatment actually costs in Hong Kong, Singapore or Bangkok. CFE alone leaves a substantial shortfall, which is what a complémentaire is for. Our solutions for expats.
