Social security cover
I'm translating a CV for an HR/Legal director and one of the snippets of his past career says:
Modification des couvertures au 1{288}er{289} euro en complément CFE sans
changer les garanties.
I gather that the "complément CFE" is an optional social security scheme
covering French nationals working abroad, but I'm not sure where the 1st euro
bit comes in. Has anyone any ideas? The sentences either side of this are
completely unrelated and don't help at all, I'm afraid.
Many thanks,

yes, CC from the first euro or to the last euro could also be said I think; the English version of site is as I gave it above with an explanation further down,
"Cover actual costs, the first euro or in addition to the CFE" so, rather than having to pay an excess charge yourself, you will have all the costs covered .

Note from asker:
| Thanks Yvonne - that sounds highly feasible! It seems obvious now you've said it but I just couldn't get my head round what they meant. |

cc in nyc
: Wouldn't it be "coverage from the first Euro"? And, btw, does the English side of the website deal carry an equivalent for "au Premier Euro"? // OK... finally found it... here: http://www.acs-ami.com/en/acs/ami_euro (duh)... Thanks!

Comment: "Thanks Yvonne - your link was very helpful and of course that's exactly what they mean - I went with "no excess" in the end"
11 hrs
full independent cover
or even "full independent expat cover". According to this detailed explanation, http://www.superexpat.fr/articles/assurance-au-1er-euro-ou-c...
you have 2 choices when you work outside France, and Mr CV chappie apparently converted ?a company regime? from one system to the other.
"Complément CFE" means you keep your basic French health cover and top it up with a mutuelle if you wish, and "couverture au 1er euro" means you opt out of the French health cover system and take out a policy that covers the whole amount, including what would normally be covered by the "régime de base", even if you're paying into Johnny Etranger's compulsory "caisse maladie".

first-euro coverage
Easy. Exactly analogous to first-dollar coverage in the US and Canada.
If the Brits have never adopted a similar expression, that's their loss.:-)
