CPAM repayments

[Gardengirl]

Following a fall I took all the forms etc and French bank account details in to our local branch about 6 weeks ago. There has been no payment into the bank yet. Any idea how long this normally takes - or is it along the lines of the length of a piece of string?

Thanks, Jo

all regions will vary but in my case it takes about 6 weeks and then up to another 6 weeks for the CPAM statement telling me that the money will be paid in on such and such a date - 6 weeks earlier [:D]

...though sometimes it is much faster, I've received funds five days from dropping off the feuille de soins (then six weeks to receive the statement. [:)])

This assumes that you already have an attestation from CPAM and therefore an 'account' in place.

I presume that it was Nimes that you went to, or at least that office which will deal with it (eventually).[Www]

My experience of them has been less than satisfactory, to say the least. You don't say whether you're a holder of a carte vitale, or whether you were simply applying for reimbursement via an EHIC.

Whatever, you may simply be a victim of that well known situation - August Syndrome. I'd give it a couple of weeks, then re-send all the docs.  Hope you kept a copy of them!

Thanks for the answers, all. I gave it all in at the Uzes office, and it was for a refund on my EHIC. As you suggesr, Gardian, I'll give them another couple of weeks. We'll be out there again by then, so I'll put a second lot in - and yes, I did keep a copy, thanks.
