French term or phrase: affiliation d’office
"Etant donné que votre affiliation auprès de la X est une affiliation d’office émise par le Service de l’assurance-maladie de Y, nous avions déposé une requête auprès du service de l’assurance-maladie afin qu’ils déterminent si l’affiliation d’office devait être maintenue ou annulée."

If this is a stupid question, please forgive me - my brain has already switched into (non-working) weekend mode. I am not sure which term is the best for "affiliation d’office" in this insurance context. Any suggestions appreciated.

In other words, the policyholder was signed up automatically for some reason (probably be he belongs to some group) and may not even want the policy (and may not even be alive), so they are checking to see if there is a real hominid attached to the policy.

Adhésion automatique

Explanation:
The person has become a policy holder by virtue of employment for example, or by joining some other group of policyholders. So he/she 'adhered' to the coverage offered automatically without a word from him/her or prior negociation of the coverage terms.
