I have read through the policy of EHIC, it seems that it only covers 30% of the medical costs in France.

The Neige card only covers everything up on the mountain.

So I guess I need extra travel insurance.

I haven't read EHIC policy & as you are supposed to be treated in same way as a French national this would mean that they have to pay 70% of their medical costs, and doesn't sound right to me.

Having said that something must be going on, info from the DWP I live in Spain & holiday in France & claim from the UK & states you may not get 100% refund as you will be treated the same as nationals & that suggests the French must pay some percentage for healthcare but 70% sounds a lot.

You never know what a company is like until it goes wrong and then its too late if the cover not adequate.
You can use big companies and they can be worse than little ones.
Guess too lazy to go through lots of policies small print to get all the information and make the best decision.
Would love somebody just to say, buy that one!

You need to go to a Broker, tell them what you want/need, and listen to them tell you which Policy you should buy :D

A good idea but you will have to trust they just don't sell the one with the highest commision for them.
