Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Guadalajara?
In Guadalajara, you can manage your primary care appointments through the SESCAM — Castilla-La Mancha Health Service. You can make a request 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 family doctor and emergencies?
A family doctor (or primary care physician) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and specialist referrals. Emergencies are for situations that require immediate attention (acute pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-urgent issues can overload the system.
How do I obtain a health card in Castilla-La Mancha?
Go to your local Health Center with your National ID or foreigner’s identification number and your residency certificate. If you work in the region but are registered elsewhere, you will also need an employment certification from the Social Security Office. The SESCAM will register you and issue your health card.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes, you can request an appointment for a family member (children under 18, elderly relatives) through the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my family doctor?
For non-urgent consultations, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If the reason is urgent but not severe enough for emergency services, you can request it as 'urgent' during your appointment.
