You can check on this site if you can request complementary health insurance.

There are 2 conditions:

• Have a social security number , i.e. benefit from health insurance (see step 2 "Register for Health Insurance")
• Have resources that do not exceed a limit set according to your age and the number of people who live with you.

For example, to benefit from free complementary health insurance, a single person must have resources under than €9,719 in the 12 months preceding the request.

For example, to benefit from paid complementary solidarity health insurance , a family of 2 parents with 2 children must have resources of less than €27,553 in the 12 months preceding the request.

To find out the resource limits for free or paid social supplement depending on your personal and family situation:

• Go to this site
• Click at the bottom of the page on Access general information without specifying my situation,
• Then on the section: “How do you know if you are covered by complementary solidarity health insurance?”

You cannot apply for complementary solidarity health insurance before being registered with Health Insurance, because you need your social security number.

If you are not registered with health insurance, you must do so by completing this form: CERFA N° 15763*02

You must submit or send your entire file (completed form and supporting documents) to the CPAM (primary health insurance fund) closest to you.

To find the address of your CPAM:

• Go to the website ameli.fr
• Go to the “Addresses and contacts” section at the bottom of the page
• And select your CPAM by indicating your postal code
• Click on "By mail".

Health Insurance will then send you a certificate of eligibility with your provisional social security number (13 digits starting with 7 or 8). Later, she will send you a certificate of rights with your final social security number (13 digits starting with 1 or 2).

To request complementary health insurance, you must send or submit this completed form (CERFA n° 52269#04) with the requested supporting documents to your CPAM.

Here's how to fill out the form:

• Page 1: Indicate the composition of your household (the people who live with you: spouse and child or dependent under the age of 25) and any assistance you receive.

• Page 2: If you are not affected by the RSA, you must indicate your household resources here (i.e. all the money entering your bank account).

• Page 3: Choose the organization that will manage your complementary solidarity health insurance : your CPAM or a complementary organization.

• Page 4: The top of the page only needs to be completed if you have chosen a complementary organization (other than the CPAM) on page 3. Otherwise, you only need to complete the end of the document with your signature, the city where you are and the date.

In addition to the form, you must add certain documents:

• A tax notice or a tax declaration notice (ASDIR) if you have one

• A property tax and local housing tax notice if you have one

• A certificate from CAF if you receive benefits (RSA, APL, etc.)
