Why freelancers need health insurance in France?

If you’re moving to France to work as a freelancer or independent contractor, private expat health insurance (aka "incoming insurance") is the quickest way to meet visa and residence permit requirements. From the moment you arrive, it covers doctor visits, prescriptions, hospital care, and emergency treatment — until you're eligible for the French system (PUMA or Sécurité Sociale). Focus on growing your business, not worrying about your medical bills.
