They do cover most medical costs but probably at a lower rate. For example dental work may be around 20% of the total cost. That means it's worth getting a top-up "mutuelle" if you are planning some expensive work.

Good advice Santiago,but be wary of the fact that many Mutuelles specifically exclude Dental work etc for the first year after you join up.

I have used a chiropodist in St Genis, rue Victor Hugo, but I've forgotten her name. She was excellent. She told me her services were not refundable from CPAM. Of course, it might depend on what you are having done, and which chiropodist you go to. Ask your doctor.
