Whether you have a health problem or need medical or psychological assistance from a healthcare practitioner, this section explains the main solutions available to you.
Good to know
In France, you generally have to pay for the procedure carried out by the doctor or healthcare practitioner at the end of the consultation, and subsequently obtain a reimbursement via the state health insurance (“assurance maladie”) and your complementary health insurance (“mutuelle”), if you have one.
In some cases you don’t have to pay during the consultation, as the doctor is paid directly by the health insurance. These consultations are referred to as being “without payment up-front” (“sans avance de frais”).
Consulting a doctor
There are different options to consult a doctor: on campus, for Université Grenoble Alpes students or doctoral students, or in town.
If you need to find a pharmacy, or if you need to see a general practitioner outside the opening hours of health centers or medical practices, for example late at night or at the weekend, and your referring doctor (médecin traitant) is not available, there are on-call medical services.
