Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my primary care physician in Ciudad Real?
In Ciudad Real, you can manage your doctor appointments through the SESCAM — Castilla-La Mancha Health Service. You can request one online at https://www.sescam.jccm.es/web1/ciudadanos/tramitesygestion/CitaPrevia/citaprevia.htm, by calling the phone number of your health center (find it on sescam.castillalamancha.es) or in person at the reception desk. You can also use the MiSESCAM app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a primary care physician and emergency services?
The primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-urgent issues can overwhelm the system.
How do I get a health card in Castilla-La Mancha?
Visit your local health center with your DNI or NIE and residency certificate. If you work in the region but are registered elsewhere, you will also need a social security affiliation certificate. The SESCAM will register you in the system and issue your health card.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children under 18, elderly dependents) via the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my primary care physician?
For non-urgent cases, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 working days depending on demand in your area. If the reason is urgent but not severe enough for emergency services, you can request it as an 'urgent' appointment.
