The 2018-2019 "Sécurité Sociale" reform for students
You already were a student in 2017-2018
The so-called “student” health insurance scheme will no longer exist after August 31, 2019. Until now, students were covered by their own specific health insurance scheme, called the “régime étudiant”. Every student enrolled in a higher education institution was automatically affiliated with a specialized organization: the LMDE or the SMERRA.
Beginning in the 2018 academic year, this scheme will begin to be discontinued: students will be covered by the general health insurance scheme and connected to the CPAM.
All of the details provided on this health portal are up-to-date and consistent with this reform.
If you were a student in 2017-2018 and you are continuing your education in 2018-2019, you will remain affiliated with your student health mutual. However, you will not need to send an application for it and the €217 annual membership fee will be waived.
What will change?
Starting August 31, 2019, all students who are still affiliated with a student health mutual will automatically be affiliated with the régime général and the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie (CPAM) for their place of residence. Student health mutuals will continue to exist. They will carry on their preventative care actions in cooperation with the Assurance Maladie. And they will offer supplementary health insurance plans specially designed for students.
