Cancelling Insurance : E106 holders ejected from CMU

[cooperlola]

I have just had a phone call from Larry Fulton of Exclusive Healthcare.

He informs me that under French law (89-6-41, Clause 18?) if a person is granted CMU cover when covered by a private policy, that company MUST (whichever country it is based in) give a full refund from the date of CMU entry.

I'm off to the UK for a week or so but will attempt to find the regulations involved (I have not looked this up) but hope it answers that question, anyway, for those who needlessly took out insurance earlier this month, on E106 expiry.

EDIT: I have just heard from another insurance agent, not to take this at 100% face value.  If your policy is governed by French law (as it SHOULD be), you will be fine.  The best course of action is to check with your insurer/broker before taking this as gospel.
