Re: Health Insurance FAQs

hello,
I'm resident in France and have a carte vitale (french medical card). If I were to work in Switzerland as a cross border commuter with a permit G, would I need to take out Swiss medical insurance? I'm hoping no since you cannot opt out of the French social security system even if you have cover elsewhere (and the payments are expensive). Just to be clear, I am looking at a 9 month contract in Switzerland and am self employed in France. I need to look into this, but I assume I would just continue to state my earnings as when I worked in France and continue paying French tax and social security, which gives me the carte vitale medical cover.

Hope this is the right place to ask! I've been looking through the forums and can't find any information on this so would be grateful for any help.

thanks,
Linda
