Health
A guide on health procedures for self-employed people
Publié le 04 décembre 2025 - Entreprendre Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The Health Insurance provides self-employed workers with a guide outlining their rights and the services they can benefit from.

In order to inform self-employed workers about their health-related rights and procedures, Health Insurance publishes a comprehensive guide “Self-employed: by your side for your health”. This includes 3 main parts:
- your health and the health of your daily activities (access to care, health prevention, medical follow-up of children);
- the preservation of your activity at key moments in your life (work stoppage, parental leave, disability, or occupational disease);
- personalized support in case of difficulties (administrative difficulties or access to care, economic fragilities).
Reminder
Since December 2025, the Health Insurance has launched, in the event of sick leave, a new videoconferencing control device.
The advice of the Health Insurance
To effectively support self-employed workers, the Health Insurance recommends 5 essential steps :
- update your Vitale card;
- activate your Ameli account;
- declare a treating physician;
- adhere to complementary health;
- subscribe to a AT/MP voluntary insurance.
