Health centre assignment in Valencia
Check which health centre and professional you have in Valencia, or change them if you have moved.
If you know where you belong, you will book appointments in the right place and report changes without registering again.
The essentials
- What it costs
- The official information does not mention any fee to check or change your assigned centre.
- How long it takes
- How long it takes depends on what you ask for and which professionals are available. The time for the change at the front desk is not the same as the wait for a medical appointment.
- To prepare it
- 20–40 min to organise your preparation
Is it for you?
People registered with the health service in Valencia who do not know their centre or need to change it.
- Is this your first assignment or a change?
- Have you moved home?
- Do you need a family doctor, a paediatrician or nursing care?
What to bring
Tick each document when you have it ready. Ticks are not saved.
Step by step
- Check whether you already have an assigned centre.
- Update your address and phone number in the SIP, through the Valencian regional procedure or at the health centre. Ask them to confirm which centre and professional you have after the change.
- Tell the two cases apart: changing centre because you moved, or asking for a different professional because you want to.
- Keep the confirmation and check how to book your next appointment.
Afterwards
- Write down your centre, your professional and how to contact them.
- If you have changed centre, ask what happens to the appointments you already had.
Common mistakes
- Thinking the nearest centre is the one assigned to you.
- Changing your address in the padrón and thinking healthcare updates itself.
- Confusing changing professional with asking for a new card.
What this guide does not decide
Changing your address may change your assigned centre. Confirm it with the health service: this guide does not guarantee a specific professional.
