I had to see the doctor while I was away as I hurt my leg and couldn't walk.
The doc came to visit me in the van.
He was English speaking, but I think in retrospect I could have coped even if he hadn't been.
He thoroughly questioned me and examined my leg. He charged me 30 _ which I paid directly to him.
He gave me a prescription and the 'feuille de soins' which enables you to claim back part of his fee.
The campsite owner kindly got the prescription for me. (11 _)
With this came another 'feuille de soins', to which the pharmacist had attached 'vignettes' or stickers which came with the 'medicaments'.
I looked up the C.P.A.M. (Caisse primaire d'assurance maladie) in the local telephone book [I could have found this out from Google], to which you send all the documentation when you return home or post while you are still in France.
The documentation needed by them is:
The prescription
Both 'Feuilles de soins'
Your European Health Insurance Card which has replaced the Form E111.
I imagine that now you only need to send its PIN number which is on the card.
I also sent a letter.
Easier than I expected, and also I thought the service even without the reimbursement was quite cheap.
My leg got better after 4 days.
It takes them a long time to answer, but be reassured they eventually do.
I've got me brass back!
