Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knew a good dentist, podiatrist or masseur in Toulouse? Also roughly how much a visit costs and if it's covered by France's wonderful health system?
Thank you in advance,
Rebecca

Rebecca - first question - do you have a Carte Vitale for health cover?

Are you working in any way? Is your husband working? Do you have private medical cover?

Any medical treatment is paid up directly to the medical practitioner, and you receive about 70% back. It's normal to have top-up medical insurance "mutuelle" for the remaining 30%.

The medical staff will tell you if your treatment will be reimbursed, but you might have to check with your mutuelle if they will reimburse their part.

Hope this helps.
