you must get a health insurance. it's a G permit, you need a frontalier health insurance. don't mess with it, get one or the population office of the canton geneve will automatically assign you to a very expensive one.

remember if you've got a swiss work permit they WILL check your health insurance status.

G permit --> frontalier insurance

L permit --> swiss insurance

etc etc

Dear Andrew,

i would advice you to take a frontalier insurance which is a specific insurance for people that live in france but work in switzerland. I work in a brokerage company in insurance and i would be happy to advise you and answer all your questions.  Please do not hesitate in contacting me to my email address s.osseiran@adexis-consutling.com If you need anything or have any questions regarding insurances please do not hesitate

best regards

I have no business connection with him but know he does a huge amount of frontaliere insurance and you'll be signed up to the frontaliere mag which is a mine of useful information particuarly wrt to your French tax return.

You are looking at around 100 euros per month + depending on cover levels. If you go to Hospital outside the Savoie/Ain area in France, say an emergency, they will not understand this insurance which can cause some minor difficulties. Have you details with you somewhere to avoid bother.

This is an old post. In fact several months old. I have found my insurance option a while ago. I am paying a bit over 60 eur per month, I figured the cheaper the better with compulsary insurances.

What I wonder now is if I can still get the EHIC even if i have a private frontaliere insurance.

I also seem to have some problems with the French health authority reimbursing me for my expenses prior to getting this insurance.
