Frequently asked questions

What are the penalties if I do not comply with the rules of PrimaTel?

If you fail to comply with the rules of PrimaTel insurance (“breach”) more than twice in the same calendar year, you will no longer be reimbursed in the event of further non-compliance. In case of repeated non-compliance, you may be transferred to the standard compulsory health insurance model.

If you suffer from a chronic illness, you must ask Medi24 to provide you with a referral for your specific condition so that you are able to follow your treatment without having to contact the call-centre before each appointment. Such referrals are valid until the end of the year and must be renewed between October and December for the following year.

You must ask the doctor you first saw to issue a referral voucher, which must then be sent to Groupe Mutuel so that the treatment with the other specialist can be covered.
