Direct answer
After SSN registration, choose a general practitioner with places in your ASL district. Choice can be at a counter or online depending on the region. The choice is recorded in the ASL health registry and generates confirmation; ask whether the regional portal also supports revocation and change so you do not repeat the desk visit.
Who this applies to
Adults registered with the SSN; a child needs a paediatrician. Before confirming, check the surgery address, opening hours and stated availability; the choice does not guarantee care outside ordinary hours.
Practical steps
- identify ASL and district
- check the list of places
- bring health card/tax code and ID
- select the doctor and save confirmation. If a delegate acts, use your ASL’s form and keep both the delegation and confirmation.
Documents to keep
Health card or tax code, ID and residence/domicile evidence; a delegation is needed if someone else submits the request.
Verifiable timing and costs
Selecting an SSN doctor is free. Validity and changes follow regional and convention rules; there is no single national deadline for online confirmation.
Exceptions and special cases
Patient caps, temporary domicile and choices for children may have separate routes. Do not confuse a GP with out-of-hours continuity care.
If the procedure stalls
If the list does not load, ask the district for an updated list and temporary proof; keep the error screenshot and report number.
Practical example
Example: after SSN registration, Youssef selects an available doctor on the regional portal, saves the proof and presents it at his first appointment.
