Médecin traitant

[Teresaship]

Hi. We are just about to apply for our carte vitale. Can we apply before getting a medecin traitent?
Thanks

Yes you can. On your first visit to your GP he/she will give you a signed designation form to lodge with your health provider. This allows future refunds to be issued at the correct rate.

Thank you. Do you know where I can find a chk list for documents please?

Hi Teresa

have you looked at the Threads in the Carte Vitale category… this one might help…

Carte Vitale - More Info

Since you started your journey the system has changed, and now there is PUMA. So in theory it should all be simpler (!). This is the current form to sign up to the health service - as you can see it’s pretty straightforward now. Perhaps you should take that with you to CPAM and ask them what of that list they haven’t got? Presumably you did a tax return last year for the June - December 2016 period so can provide evidence of sufficient funds? What I don’t know is whether the fact that you have been without any health cover for 18 months will be an issue. Others might know this.

Thanks.

Some GPs will be able to register that you have selected them as your medècin traitant directly on line, others will give you the form to take/send to health provider, and other will expect you to turn up with the form ready for them to sign. So here it is…just in case.

And if it’s not on the other thread here’s the form for PUMA which also sets out the docs you need.
