Support When Facing Service Access Difficulties
⚠️ Security Code (OTP) Not Received
Cause: Possible mobile network issues, incorrect phone number provided, or delay in SMS delivery.
Solution: First, ensure your phone number is correct and check your mobile signal. If the problem persists, wait a few minutes and try requesting the code again. If still unsuccessful, contact technical support at [email protected] or by phone.
⚠️ Difficulty Uploading Documents
Cause: Incorrect file format (must be PDF), file size too large, or poor internet connection.
Solution: Ensure all documents are scanned in PDF format. Check the file size to see if it exceeds any portal limits. Try using a stable internet connection. If issues persist, you may need to use an alternative method like visiting a dedicated office by appointment.
⚠️ Cannot Access Portal with SPID/CIE/CNS
Cause: Incorrect credentials, expired identity document, or technical issues with the authentication system.
Solution: Verify your SPID, CIE, or CNS credentials. Ensure your identity document is still valid. If you believe your credentials are correct and still face issues, contact the support provided by your identity provider (SPID manager, CIE support) or the regional health service contact center.
⚠️ Need to perform an operation not available online
Cause: Some specific requests, like first-time enrollment for certain foreign citizens or choosing a doctor in 'massimale' (already full), require in-person assistance.
Solution: For situations not covered by the online portal, or if you encounter persistent technical difficulties, it is recommended to book an appointment at a dedicated 'Ufficio Scelta e Revoca'. Appointments can be made via https://prenota.zerocoda.it (searching for 'Scelta/Revoca/Cambio del Medico' in Milan) or by calling the provided telephone numbers.

Common Questions About Milan's Online Doctor Service
Q: Can I choose or change my doctor for my minor child online?
Yes, you can change the pediatrician or doctor for a minor child online. If your child is turning 14, the transition from a pediatrician to a General Practitioner is also available online.
Q: What should I do if my doctor retires?
If your doctor retires, the change to a new General Practitioner is not automatic. You must select a new professional through the online portal or by visiting an office. The online service allows you to choose a new doctor if the previous one ceased activity.
Q: Can I request a temporary doctor assignment online?
The online portal facilitates some requests for temporary doctor choices ('scelta in deroga'). However, for specific temporary domicile situations, like extended stays due to study or work outside your residential ATS, you might need to visit a 'Scelta e Revoca' office in person to obtain temporary assignment.
Q: Are there other ways to change my doctor besides the online portal?
Yes, in addition to the online portal, you can change your doctor at participating pharmacies in Milan or by booking an appointment to visit a physical 'Ufficio Scelta e Revoca'. Note that pharmacies and the Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico usually only allow changes for doctors who have not reached their maximum patient limit.
