Sunday Driver Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 CPAM = Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie - an insurance bureau which manages the state healthcare insurance systemCMU = Couverture Maladie Universelle - the state healthcare insurance system. Contributions are on a means tested basis.Cartes Vitales = a green plastic card with computer chip which automates your payments/reimbursements under the state healthcare insurance systemCartes de Sejour = a residence permit required by foreigners living in France. Not obligatory for EU citizens. E106 = a temporary certificate issued by the UK Dept of Work and Pensions which your provide to your CPAM. It exonerates you from the means tested contributions for up to two years.E121 = a permanent version of the above, issued once you are in receipt of your UK state old age pension.
