Expatriate health insurance in Monaco | Mondassur

Are you a Monegasque or interested in becoming one? Think about your expatriate health insurance in Monaco.

Expatriate insurance Monaco

If you’re thinking of moving to Monaco, this is a great idea! This glamorous principality, nestled between France and the Mediterranean, is famous for its luxurious lifestyle, pleasant climate and advantageous tax system. Working in Monaco can be very rewarding, with salaries often higher than elsewhere in Europe. The principality attracts internationally renowned companies. They are particularly active in the financial, luxury tourism and service sectors.

However, note that expatriate life in Monaco is among the most expensive in the world. Rents here are particularly exorbitant, and daily expenses can quickly mount up. What’s more, the costs associated with other services, such as healthcare, can be very high. We therefore recommend that you take out expatriate insurance in Monaco before you leave. Mondassur offers adequate coverage for all medical care required during your stay in Monaco, depending on your needs.

It’s important to have the opportunity to access the best care. Mondassur therefore strongly recommends that you take out suitable private expatriate insurance. This precaution ensures fast, comprehensive care. In fact, it’s essential for coping with any unforeseen medical event and avoiding staggering medical expenses.

How Monaco's healthcare system works :

Monaco’s healthcare system is renowned for its exceptional quality and efficiency. There are two main categories: public and private insurance. Each system offers different healthcare coverage, adapted to the varied needs of residents and expatriates. Understanding how these systems work is essential to choosing the right coverage for your situation.

How does social security work?

Public health insurance

Public insurance in Monaco is a well-structured and accessible system. It consists mainly of three cards: the green card, the pink card and the bubble card. First and foremost, the green card offers basic coverage for consultations and essential medical care. The carte rose also offers additional services such as dental and optical care. Finally, the bubble card is reserved for people with specific needs and offers extended coverage for special treatments. Please note that these cards are for residents only. You then have to apply for them.

The Monegasque social security system, the Caisse de Compensation des Services Sociaux (Social Services Compensation Fund) (CCSS), guarantees a high quality of coverage. All permanent residents, including expatriates, are eligible under certain conditions. Prices vary according to the level of coverage chosen. In fact, they can range from €100 to €300 a month. Refunds are made within 7 to 10 days.

Does the carte vitale work in Monaco?

No, the French “carte vitale” doesn’t work in Monaco, and French social protection doesn’t work there. Consequently, Monegasque residents must use cards specific to the Monegasque healthcare system. However, bilateral agreements exist to facilitate access to healthcare for French residents working in Monaco. That’s why Mondassur recommends taking out expatriate insurance for Monaco.

How much does housing cost in Monaco?

Private insurance in Monaco offers an alternative or complement to public insurance. These insurances are generally more flexible and can therefore offer higher levels of coverage. In fact, Mondassur insurance policies can include specialized care and treatments not covered by the public system.

By taking out expatriate insurance, you can benefit from comprehensive health coverage tailored to your specific needs. Prices vary according to age, state of health and desired level of coverage. These can range from €200 to €600 per month. Claims processing times are fast, and the quality of coverage is top-of-the-range.

By choosing private expatriate insurance, you can benefit from rapid access to specialists. In fact, care can be provided in top-quality private clinics. In addition, additional services such as provident insurance, third-party liability and maternity cover are available.

Health care facilities in Monaco

Despite its small size, Monaco boasts a high-quality healthcare system, with a number of renowned institutions. The main public hospital is the Princess Grace Hospital (CHPG), renowned for its modern facilities and 24-hour emergency services. There are 5 private clinics: Clinique de Monaco, Clinique du Métropole, Clinique de la Colline, Clinique de la Costa and Clinique du Parc. The latter offer specialized care and personalized attention. The quality of care in these establishments is often considered exceptional. These
facilities also boast highly qualified medical staff
and state-of-the-art infrastructures.

Treatment times vary depending on the facility and the severity of the medical condition. Nevertheless, they are generally rapid, thanks to the efficiency of the Monegasque healthcare system. The average cost of a night in hospital can vary from €600 to €1,200, depending on the type of room and the type of hospitalization required. These awards reflect the quality of care and facilities offered in the principality. It is therefore essential to take out expatriate insurance in Monaco before moving abroad!

Health care costs in Monaco

Medical services in Monaco, although of the highest quality, can be relatively expensive. Here’s a detailed overview of the healthcare costs you can expect:

  • GP consultation: €50 to €100 per visit, depending on the practitioner and the complexity of the consultation.
  • Medicines
    Medicines: available without prescription for basic treatments, but prices can be higher than in neighboring countries.
  • Hospitalization
    From €1,000 to €2,500 per day, including necessary care and treatment.
  • Birth
    Coverage: €5,000 to €10,000, depending on the type of delivery and additional services chosen.

In particular, they guarantee comprehensive coverage and peace of mind in the event of medical need.

Mondassur offers insurance solutions tailored to the needs of expatriates. This guarantees comprehensive coverage and rapid assistance in the event of a medical emergency. This coverage is essential not only to avoid high costs, but also to ensure optimum medical care in critical situations.
