OUT-PATIENT SERVICES One of the characteristics of the current French Health Care System is freedom of choice. Patients are completely free to choose a GP (generaliste) Since January 2006 you must register with a “Treating Doctor” medecine traitant to qualify for reimbursement with the Securite Sociale (French social security) this does not necessarily apply to expats with private insurance. Most specialists require a referral from a GP You do not need a referral to see an ophthalmologist , gynecologist , dermatologist, or if you have a known illness and are already followed by a specialist elsewhere. You do not need a referral if you are already followed by a specialist in another country. ASP Welcome Committee Health Care in France 26
