Health Prevention Check-up: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides a comprehensive medical exam at no cost to help you monitor your health proactively.

👤Who it's for

This program is available to all insured persons living in France. The benefit is designed to be accessible to anyone covered under the national insurance system. You are eligible to receive this medical assessment once every five years to ensure your health is being tracked regularly over time.

🎁What you get

You receive a comprehensive medical check-up, sometimes referred to locally as a "Check-up santé." This is a full assessment of your physical well-being provided by health professionals. The most important aspect of this scheme is that the check-up is provided entirely free of charge, ensuring that financial status is not a barrier to receiving essential preventative medical care.

💰What it costs you

While the medical services themselves are covered, there are practical steps you must take to utilize the benefit. You will need to invest the time required to book an appointment. This process involves contacting a local health center to find a suitable time slot for your medical assessment.

⚠️The catch to know

A common issue with this scheme is that it is often underutilized by the people who could benefit from it most. Because it does not happen every year, it is easy to forget that the option is available to you. It is important to stay informed about your specific eligibility status to ensure you take advantage of this window when it arrives.

📝How to apply

1. Review your personal insurance status to confirm you are currently insured.
2. Confirm that it has been at least five years since your last comprehensive check-up.
3. Locate a local health center in your area.
4. Contact the health center directly to book your appointment.
