Has anyone out there claimed on their Assurance Complementaire for dental treatment costs? I have recently approached our insurers for the go ahead to have some dental treatment carried out (a crown and a bridge). They have offered to refund less than 200€ out of a bill for 2,800€. Is this the sort of sum we should expect to receive?  We should receive a similar amount of refund from CPAM according to the dentist which would still leave me with over 2,000€ to pay (and another nice holiday for the dentist, only joking). 

Hi Does anyone know if crowns are covered under the carte vitale over here please. I have a crown already but have tooth ache under it, so Ill probably need a new crown after treatment. Thanks for help in advance.

Hi, we need an ophthamologist who speaks English as close to Civray as possible to run an eye test to determine the state of floaters. Confolens A&E have said that it is myodésopsie and should see an ophthamologist to have the tests done.

Hello,My partner is a UK-qualfied counsellor with a practice in London and Kent. He commutes backwards and forwards every week and is thinking of starting another practice here in France. He speaks both English and Dutch (native Belgian) and has over 16 years' experience and having lived in various countries understands expat issues very well. He works with both adults and young people.Before going through the process of setting up a practice, becoming self-employed, SIRET, etc here in France, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of demand for counselling (face-toface, via Skype, whatever medium) among the expat community here in Poitou Charente? I noticed that there is a counselling directory site for English speaking counsellors in France, but no information about whether people actually use these services.Any thoughts gratefully received! Kps. if you have a specific issue that you need help with then please do not post publicly - send me a private message and I will gladly pass on his contact details so that you can arrange a confidential discussion.
