The CPAM of Hauts-de-Seine centralizes its administrative headquarters in Nanterre, but the physical reception of insured individuals follows operational rules that online directories do not detail. Understanding the organizational logic of this center helps avoid unnecessary trips and properly direct your mail.
Postal mail and physical address of CPAM 92: two distinct logics
The most common mistake is to confuse the reception address and the postal address. The headquarters of the Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie of Hauts-de-Seine is located in Nanterre, but the postal address for sending documents is a cedex code without a street number: CPAM des Hauts-de-Seine, 92026 Nanterre Cedex. This address is used for both paper claim forms and for sick leave or supporting documents.

The physical reception, on the other hand, requires going to an identified reception point. If you are looking to verify the address of CPAM 92 in Nanterre before you go, keep in mind that the Nanterre site manages the entire department 92, not just the municipality.
For sick leave, both the employer’s section and the insured’s section must be sent to this same cedex address. We recommend sending original documents by tracked mail, as CPAM does not systematically issue acknowledgment of receipt.

Contacting CPAM 92 by phone: 3646 and its limitations
The unique number to contact CPAM is 3646, a non-premium rate call (only the cost of a local call applies depending on the operator). This number serves all the funds in the territory, not just Nanterre. A voice server redirects to the relevant fund based on the social security number entered.
The 3646 does not allow you to directly reach an agent at the Nanterre site. Calls are handled by shared telephone platforms. For complex questions (disputes over reimbursements, affiliation after returning from abroad, opening C2S rights), the tele-advisor can schedule a callback or direct you to a physical appointment.
We observe that the time slots at the end of the morning, between 11 AM and 12 PM, generally have fewer calls than the opening at 8:30 AM. No official data confirms this point, but it is a recurring observation among insured individuals in 92.
Opening hours of CPAM Nanterre and appointment slots
The standard hours communicated for the Nanterre reception are 8:30 AM – 12:45 PM then 2 PM – 5 PM, from Monday to Friday. These hours may vary during school holidays or on internal training days, without systematic notice on the site ameli.fr.
The midday break of more than an hour is a point not to be overlooked: an insured person arriving at 12:30 PM with a file to submit risks finding the reception closed. For example, collecting the Vitale card requires a personal visit with an ID, and this type of procedure is only handled during opening hours.
Appointment on ameli.fr or spontaneous visit
For several years, CPAM has encouraged insured individuals to prioritize online procedures via the ameli account. Most common operations (rights certificates, reimbursement tracking, declaration of treating physician) can be managed without a visit.
For situations that require physical contact, making an appointment is becoming more common. Showing up without an appointment exposes you to significant waiting times, or even to a refusal of service on the same day if the influx exceeds the reception capacity.
- Updating the Vitale card: possible at self-service kiosks in certain pharmacies and at CPAM reception, without an appointment
- Opening rights or changing funds after moving: appointment recommended, supporting documents required (recent proof of residence, ID)
- Request for C2S (formerly CMU-C and ACS): file to be prepared in advance, the appointment serves to verify completeness and initiate processing
- Disputing a reimbursement refusal: going through the amicable appeal commission, registered mail remains the preferred method
Alternatives to the Nanterre reception for insured individuals in 92
The Hauts-de-Seine department has several CPAM reception points distributed across the territory. The Nanterre reception is not the only physical contact point for insured individuals in 92. Branches exist in other municipalities, and the relevant fund remains the same regardless of the reception point visited.
For insured individuals residing in the south of the department, traveling to Nanterre can represent a significant journey. Checking on ameli.fr or via 3646 if a closer reception point offers the desired service avoids an unnecessary round trip.
Sending documents: prioritize digital
The ameli account now allows the transmission of scanned supporting documents for an increasing number of procedures. The secure messaging of the account advantageously replaces postal mail for exchanges that do not require originals.
Paper claim forms remain an exception: they mainly concern health professionals not equipped for teletransmission, or care received abroad. In these cases, sending by post to the address 92026 Nanterre Cedex remains mandatory.
The site nanterre.fr lists CPAM 92 in its directory of public facilities, which can serve as a verification point if the information found elsewhere seems contradictory. In case of doubt about an exceptional schedule or a temporary closure, 3646 remains the most reliable channel to obtain real-time confirmation.
