Declaring your médecin traitant: preparing the formal process

Agree this role with the doctor, then distinguish an online or paper declaration from simply booking a consultation.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Choosing a médecin traitant requires the doctor’s agreement. Discuss this role with them; booking a consultation does not constitute the declaration to Assurance Maladie.

In a group practice, the declaration names one particular doctor. Keep their name, even when several doctors work at the same address.

With your agreement, the doctor can submit the declaration online during a consultation, using the Carte Vitale you present.

The other route uses paper form S3704. You and the doctor sign it, then you hand it in or send it to your health insurance fund.

To change your médecin traitant, make a new declaration. It cancels the previous one; changing the professional selected on Doctolib does not complete this process.

Ask the doctor which route was used and whether the declaration was sent. A form that has only been prepared still needs to reach the fund.
