Who this guide is for

Section actions
  • Anyone who has already opened their rights to the CPAM
  • Families who choose their child's doctor
  • Those who want to understand why a specialist is less reimbursed without a doctor

To be prepared in advance

Section actions
  • Your Vital Card or your certificate of rights.
  • The doctor's declaration form (Cerfa), provided by the doctor.

Step-by-step procedure

Section actions
  1. 1Find a general practitioner near you, for example via Doctolib or the Ameli directory. Appointments are often made online.
  2. 2On the first date, just say that you want to declare him as a treating doctor.
  3. 3Complete the doctor's statement together: your name, your Social Security number and the doctor's contact information.
  4. 4The doctor sends the report to the CPAM. This process is free and quick.
  5. 5If you change your doctor, make a new statement. You can do it when your situation changes.

Common mistakes

Section actions
  • Go straight to a specialist with no orientation. With the exception of care courses, reimbursement falls, except for some direct access.
  • Forget to repeat the statement after a change of doctor.
  • Thinking that the attending doctor is blocking you. In fact, you can change it when you need it.
