  Doctor’s fees

  Health costs/fees depend on your doctor. They are 2 sectors.

  Sector 1 doctors (general practitioner or specialist),  apply a pre-determined flat rate and do not charge additional fees.

  Sector 2 doctors (general practitioner or specialist), are allowed to charge additional fees that are not covered by the French health Insurance. Costs and fees are different, so are the refunded/paid portions.

  It is therefore very important for you to ask your doctor for their sector and price before booking an appointment.

   

  The refering doctor (médecin traitant)

  He/She is the doctor (generalist or specialist, from sector 1 or 2) who you freely choose and report to the CPAM with his/her agreement. He/She manages your medical records and coordinates your care pathway. Choosing a referring doctor allows you to receive better reimbursement.
