100% Santé: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access dental, vision, and hearing care with zero out-of-pocket costs through the 100% Santé program.
100% Santé is a program designed to ensure that essential healthcare services do not result in unexpected expenses for citizens. It allows you to access specific medical equipment without paying anything out of your own pocket.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to anyone who has a mutuelle, which is a form of supplementary health insurance.
What you get
You can receive certain types of glasses, dental crowns, and hearing aids with zero out-of-pocket costs. This means the combination of basic social security coverage and your supplementary insurance covers the full price of the selected items.
What it costs you
While the service itself results in no extra cost, you must choose items specifically categorized within the "Panier 100% Santé" to receive the full benefit. If you choose items outside of this specific selection, you will likely have to pay the difference yourself.
The catch to know
The main limitation is that you cannot choose any item you want. To get the zero-cost benefit, you must select from a restricted range of frames, materials, or models designated by the scheme.
How to apply
- Consult with your healthcare provider (optician, dentist, or audiologist).
- Ask them specifically for options included in the "Panier 100% Santé" selection.
- Confirm with your provider that the chosen items will result in zero out-of-pocket costs.
