If you have a private international insurance, check where you can go to get treatment. There might be specific private establishments where your insurer will only cover your treatment.
Most doctors and hospitals have an agreement with the Social security (conventionné), which means that the fees are charged at standard rates. Check whether the health professional or organization is conventionné before or at your first visit (private clincs will probably not be in this group), otherwise the refunds from social security will be lower than normal. In this case, even additional private insurance (mutuelle) may not cover them completely.
A good source of doctors and medical centres is the yellow pages directory: www.pagesjaunes.fr (both in French and English).
All appointments are made by phone. For a generalist, it should be usually made 1-3 days in advance, for a specialist up to1-2 weeks. For special treatment in public hospitals the waiting time can be much longer, even a few months.
