How to claim back your medical expenses without a Vitale card ?

You have a social security number and an « attestation de droits » (certificate of rights), but you do not yet have a carte Vitale.

Awaiting receipt of your carte Vitale, you can claim for the refunds of your medical expenses by completing, signing and sending your  " feuille de soins  " (brown paper) to your CPAM.

Make sure your social security number, name, surname and address are on the “feuille de soins” and enclose the prescription if the care/medication your received were prescribed by your doctor before you send it.

You can find your CPAM's address on our website ameli.fr, section "Adresses et Contacts".

If your social security number is permanent and certified, you can order your carte Vitale online from your ameli account.

Have a nice day.
