I have already my European Health Insurance Card. How can I use it and make a visit to the doctor?

Bonjour Maggy,

If you have to visit a doctor, you can use your EHIC card, but you will probably have to pay the visit.

In order to get a refund, you need to provide to CPAM (caisse primaire d'assurance maladie) :

• a copy of your passport

• a RIB

• acquitted bills (+ prescription)

• a copy of your european health card (EHIC card)

I also advise you to check with the health care organization in your country how to ask for the refund for your unexpected medical cares when you will be back home.

To have further details, more information on the link below : How call French Health Insurance Advice Line ?

You can also contact the French speaking line, dial 36 46.

Have a good day.
