Please note

To know the resource ceilings applied specifically in Alsace-Moselle, in the overseas departments and regions or in Mayotte, you can consult the public service sheet dedicated to solidarity-based complementary health.

The resources taken into account to determine your eligibility for the supplementary solidarity health insurance are those that you received during the 12 months preceding the penultimate month of your application. For example, for a request made in April 2026, the reference period for taking into account your resources is 1er March 2025 to February 28, 2026.

You can check your eligibility for the solidarity complementary health insurance thanks to a simulator of the portal mesdroitssociaux.gouv.fr.

The request for complementary health solidarity can be made:

  • by sending to your health insurance fund a application form completed and accompanied by the required supporting documents.

You can also establish a power of attorney so that a third party makes the request on your behalf at a reception point.

After receiving your application, your health insurance fund will review your application within 2 months and inform you of its decision.

If your application is accepted, your entire household benefits from the complementary health solidarity, in other words:

  • yourself;
  • your spouse, cohabiting partner or Civil partnership partner (civil solidarity pact);
  • dependants under 25 years of age.

Reminder

The solidarity supplementary health insurance allows you to pay the part of your health expenses not covered by the compulsory health insurance.

Thanks to it, you can therefore benefit from coverage of all your expenses, without having to advance them, for a number of medical services (medicines, medical consultations, hospitalizations, certain glasses, certain hearing aids, certain dental prostheses, etc.).
