“Originally from England, Christina Wingfield has lived in France for more than 30 years. Perfectly bilingual in English and French, she combines an in-depth understanding of French life with three decades of professional experience in insurance.”
Christina studied Law and English Literature at the University of Aix-en-Provence before developing her career in the insurance sector. Over the years, she has advised international clients living throughout France, helping them understand their insurance needs and navigate systems that can often appear complex or unfamiliar.
She has developed particular expertise in French and international health insurance. Her knowledge extends beyond insurance policies themselves to the practical workings of the French healthcare system, including Assurance Maladie, complementary health insurance, reimbursement arrangements, access to public and private healthcare, and the limitations clients may encounter.
This enables Christina and her team to consider each client’s wider circumstances rather than simply suggesting a standard policy. The assessment may take into account residence status, French Social Security position, family situation, healthcare priorities, budget and the need for cover in France or abroad.
Based in Nice, Christina oversees an English-speaking team assisting clients throughout France by telephone, email and video consultation.
Christina supervises the service to help ensure that clients receive consistent, professional guidance from Healthcare in France.
