Why?
The regular doctor is the doctor, often a general practitioner, whom you register with Health Insurance (Assurance maladie). They follow your health, keep your medical record up to date, take care of prevention (vaccines, screening) and send you to a specialist if necessary. Following this pathway means you are reimbursed better.
