With the arrival of the pandemic, and due to movement restrictions, the majority of public orgasms expanded the number of options available via telematics to carry out processes that, previously, it was necessary to go physically, so as not to be forced to stop his activity entirely. Currently, despite being illegal, most of these organizations force us to request a prior appointment to carry out any procedure in person.
The possibility of interacting with public bodies electronically is not limited only to bodies such as the Treasury, Social Security or the General Directorate of Traffic, but is also available for health-related issues. One of the first telematic functions that all the autonomous communities enabled was the possibility of requesting an appointment to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, to avoid crowds of people.
Some have taken the opportunity to expand the number of functions and reduce the influx to health centers and currently, most allow us to change doctors or specialists without having to leave home, we just need a computer and visit the corresponding website to each autonomous community, since it is one of the competences that the State delegated so that they were the ones that managed public health issues.
Change doctors without leaving home
Since the powers are distributed in the autonomous communities, there is no single website that allows us to make this change, but rather, depending on our location, we must visit one website or another. In order to make this change, it will be necessary to have the social security number at hand, the DNI number and the telephone number, where a code will be sent to us to confirm that we are the legitimate benefactors.
Some communities also allow us to access their telematic platforms using the corresponding digital certificate, which will make the process much faster and easier.

This process is very fast and simple as long as the number we have established is the same one that we are going to use. If this is not the case, it will take longer and, on occasions, we may be forced to go directly to the health center and take the opportunity to change our contact telephone number. Through the website of each autonomous community, we can also request an appointment with the doctor in order to waste time calling our health center continuously and that they never pick up the phone or if it does not stop communicating, something that, unfortunately, It has become very common, especially after the coronavirus pandemic.
