 IN CASE OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY…

BY RICHARD NAHEM an american living in Paris.
 

One of the few things most travelers don't think about when they go on holiday is what to do if they suddenly get sick or need healthcare. The good news is that France has one of the best and accessible healthcare systems in the world, and you can be assured that you will easily find the care you need in case of a health emergency or if you just need general medical care.
Doctor visits are relatively cheap compared to the U.S.A standard doctor's fee is 20-60 euros; almost what a co-pay is in the states. Certain doctors are on call 24 hours a day to make house visits. Rates range from 50 to 100 euros.

If you are an EEC member your national healthcare company will pay back almost all expenses to the French social security system, so basically you pay nothing if you are a resident of the European union.
As of now, I have what is called a long-term visitor visa, which means I don't pay in to the French social security system yet and must obtain private health insurance. Although I have a good insurance policy, I purposely choose a high deductible because I knew the doctor visits here would be so reasonable.

My healthcare experiences have been very positive and I have felt welltaken care of since I've been living here. I found an excellent andreliable GP doctor, Dr. Thierry Buffel, on the rue de Rivoli. His rateis 30 Euros a visit and last year I went for a full check-up,including an expensive cardio /heart rate test and the cost was only100 euros. I went for blood work in addition to the check-up and that
cost 42 euros, so altogether the check-up with the blood work costless than 150 euros.

I recently had to have some emergency dental care and I was veryimpressed by the professionalism of the dentist Stephane Brun and thestate of the art equipment in the office. There were certain technicalthings I had not seen before including a computer screen above the
dentist chair that immediately showed X-rays that were just taken. Ineeded to have two root canals and two crowns put in and Dr. Brunworked tirelessly on end for hours making sure everything was perfect.I've never been to a dentist who was so thorough. It was like havingan artist work on my mouth. The cost was about 40% less than it wouldbe in New York.

So if you are visiting France and have any concerns about finding goodhealth care, no need to worry: France's comprehensive health caresystem will provide you with what you need.
