Enrollment in the medical plan (“mutuelle”) is automatic at the start of your employment with PayPal. To complete your enrollment, submit a ticket with HR Hub (this page is only accessible within the PayPal firewall) and attach the following:

• Bulletin Individuel d’Affiliation, filled in and signed
• A copy of your “attestation carte vitale” or any other document from French social security with your SS number
• Copy of bank details (RIB)
• An “attestation carte vitale,” if you wish to enroll your spouse or children. HR Hub will receive your ticket and enroll you, and confirm back

To add or remove any dependants from your medical cover, fill out the Bulletin Individuel d’Affiliation with information about the person to be added / removed. If you are adding dependants to your policy, you must attach a copy of the Social Security Statements (“attestation carte vitale”) confirming their social number.

You will need to log a case with HR Hub (this page is only accessible within the PayPal firewall) and submit the BIA (duly completed and signed). HR Hub will receive your case and make required changes, and confirm back.

Upon joining the plan, you will receive a Mercer Card (“carte tiers payant”), which you may use to cover the cost of hospitalisation, general practitioner (“medecin traitant”), and pharmacy expenses.

• If you need to pay in advance in order to be hospitalized, be sure to fill out the following form with at least one month’s notice, and the plan administrator, Mercer, will liaise with the hospital
• If you are at the pharmacy, present your Mercer card and your Carte Vitale, and you will not have to pay
• If you are at your doctor’s office, present your Mercer card and your Carte Vitale, and you will not have to pay. Social security and Mercer will refund them directly. If your doctor does not access the Mercer card, you can pay the total cost and keep all receipts, to be submitted to Mercer.

For more information, refer to the Healthcare Guide.

If you know you will be hospitalised, just submit a request for consent to pay medical costs from your Management Center a few days before your admission to the hospital. Contact Mercer or by telephone at 0 825 001 289.

You will need to provide the following information to Mercer:

• Name and address of the healthcare institution
• Department (medicine, surgery, etc.)
• Hospitalisation date
• Social Security number of the hospitalised person

In an emergency, the consent to pay medical costs will be issued immediately if requested by you or by someone close to you. Certain healthcare institutions do this directly.

Mercer, the medical plan administrator, provides a website dedicated to your social welfare. You will receive a personal, confidential code at your residence, which will enable you to:

• Receive practical Mercer Infos newsletters
• View your healthcare reimbursements online (Social Security part + Complementary Health Insurance)
• Give your consent to receive your statements by email (one statement sent per event) rather than by mail (monthly statement)
• Contact the Mercer center by email
• Obtain consent to pay medical costs
• Modify your personal contact information (mailing address, email address, etc.) 

When you access the portal, enter your user code and your password on the home page. To get your user code and password, enter the “insured” and “company” codes online, which you can find on your statement or on your Mercer Card.
