Do we have to choose a treating doctor?
No, nothing obliges you to do so… But it is in your interest to do so, because you will be much better reimbursed. Let’s take a classic consultation with a general practitioner under agreement in sector 1 at the 25-year rate: if it is your declared attending physician, health insurance will reimburse you 70% of the consultation rate, less 1 euro for fixed contribution, i.e. 16.50 euros. If you consult a “lambda” doctor, this coverage drops to 6.50 euros. It’s still very interesting, as summarized this social security plate.
What happens if your attending physician is absent? “His usual replacement will use his care sheets and you will be reimbursed under the same conditions as with your attending physician”, we specify to Health Insurance.
