Having accepted a job offer for the upcoming season, we are left with trying to find a deal on Health insurance for myself and the wife to be!!

Was wondering if anybody on here know of any company's that do a good deal!! we get Carre Neige insurance with our area lift pass it's just for our hospital costs or visits to the doctors we need to be covered for!

Thank you for any help given

You could look here: http://www.money.co.uk/travel-insurance/ski-insurance.htm

http://www.ski-insurance.co.uk/ is who we used. They were the cheapest, never needed to claim though so cant tell you more than that.

I'm not sure if Dogtag Insurance are worth checking out? http://www.dogtag.co.uk/home.aspx

We used them for our Tignes trip in the summer but I think they also cater for longer periods of insurance.

Dogtag insurance sounds good. Do they have a section on body bag cover and repatriation of remains?

Leave no one behind!!!

If you are an EU citizen you shouldn't need health insurance, it's not the same as seasonaires travel insurance http://seasonjunkie.com/seasonaire-insuranc/

If you have an EHIC card you will be able to access the French healthcare system. There's lots of info on what to do and how to claim back most of the charges on the Centre of European and International Liaisons for Social Security website http://www.cleiss.fr/presentation/index_en.html and there is a list of doctors here: http://www.doctoralia.fr/ try to find one who charges the official social security rate "Conventionne secteur 1" as they only charge Euro23 for a consultation 70% of which is reimbursable whereas a "Conventionne secteur 2" doctor can charge what he wants (usually Euro50) of which only 70% of Euro23 is reimbursable http://www.ameli.fr/assures/soins-et-remboursements/combien-serez-vous-rembourse/index.php It might be a good idea to go and see one of the doctors upon arrival to check things out.

Make sure you keep a claim form for your Carre Neige handy as I think you have to make a claim within 7 days of having an accident.
