For house calls, yes they do that in France, call SOS MEDECIN.  Phone number is  3624.   You'll have a doctor within one hour who is quite competent , can do a host of test via teststrips. 

Emergency room:  American Hospital, which is quite modern and efficient.   No waiting for care.  All taxis [a taxi number is 3609] know where it is.   

SOS MEDECIN was about 75 euros.  The  emergency room, including tests, xrays cost about 500 euros. Medicare does cover these costs if you have G or F coverage in your supplement.   They pay 80% after $250 deductible. You will need the bills from SOS Medecin, emergency room, lab results, copy of your flight ticket or boarding pass.  Then just mail them in to your carrier.  Ours,  Mutual of Omaha took 10 days to refund us our money.
