Step-by-step procedure

Section actions
  1. 1Check your eligibility on ameli.fr — section « Complementaire santé solidaire » or simulator.
  2. 2Apply online on ameli.fr or via Cerfa at CPAM — free.
  3. 3Indicate the composition of the household and the income — ceilings updated each year (service-public.fr, F33671).
  4. 4If agreement, choose a supplement from the CPAM partners — often 100% Health care on some care.
  5. 5Present the CSS certificate to the doctor and pharmacy with the Vital Card.
  6. 6Update your income in the event of a change — otherwise overpayment or termination of rights.

Common mistakes

Section actions
  • Pay a mutual without checking the right to free CSS.
  • Do not report an increase in income.
  • Consolidate CSS and Health Insurance — the CSS completes the CPAM.
  • Choose a contract that is not responsible — less good 100% Health.
