The Stan Millward Association has organised two dates for a presentation on various aspects of Health Insurance here in France.
- 3pm Thursday 10th Feb
- 3pm Thursday 24th Feb
Both presentations will be held in the usual venue in Valence.
Caroline Cruzeaud will lead the presentation – after detailed consultation with Pacifica (from Credit Agricole).
If you are interested in attending, please make your request for a place as soon as possible. As always, the aim is to inform people as widely as possible. There is a lot to discover!
Sharon asks for the usual donation of 5€ per person and upon receipt of this amount, your place will be confirmed. Seats will be well-spaced, heating turned down, rooms well-ventilated, floors and work surfaces steam-cleaned in advance. All guests will need to show their triple vaccine Covid-Pass ( or have written exemption ) and wear a mask. Hand sanitizer will be available for everyone to use upon arrival.
Please feel free to submit questions in advance – so that Caroline has time to prepare full answers. A printed list of questions & information will be available for a additional 3€ donation.
Amongst other things, Caroline will take questions on the following :- All up-to-date government legislation: allowances for glasses ( opticians ), teeth ( dentistry ), hearing aids, mobility, etc.
- What areas of health are covered by the famous "100%" ? What does it mean ?
- Please explain if and when you can “anticipate” payment towards dental charges. Can you do this with glasses and anything else ?
- Hospitalisation : single room, TV, pay when in hospital for more than 5 consecutive days, help towards housework.
- What if your surgeon charges a supplement to normal fees ? (aka "Déplacement d'Honoraires" )
- Can you choose your surgeon ? What if he/she is not in the Charente ?
- Are we reimbursed for a second opinion ?
There will be many more questions, for sure!

All monies raised will be used to support patients on the Oncology Ward at Girac, Angoulême's only hospital.
Our latest project is to raise money for an innovative virtual reality treatment, designed to reduce anxiety and therefore blood pressure, reduce pain and thus improve overall patient care. Sharon was allowed to try part of one of the programmes during a visit last November and was amazed at the calming and positive emotions that she experienced. The machine was on loan from another department - our aim is to raise enough money for Oncology to have its own Virtual Reality Programme.
