Medical Certificates in Encamp: Who Needs Them?
Encamp is one of Andorra's seven parishes and among its most vertically stretched. The town itself sits at roughly 1,280 metres in the Valira d'Orient valley, with the Funicamp gondola — around six kilometres of cable climbing over a thousand metres — lifting directly from the town into the Grandvalira ski area. At the far end of the parish, on the French border, is El Pas de la Casa: a resort village at 2,408 metres, one of the highest points on the European road network, and the only place in Andorra where water drains towards the Atlantic. The Museu Nacional de l'Automòbil is in the town.
That geography dictates the local economy. Encamp is a ski parish, and the ski industry runs on seasonal labour: lift operators, piste crews, ski school instructors, hospitality staff in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, retail and rental shops. Grandvalira takes on hundreds of temporary staff each winter across its sectors. Seasonal work changes the administrative picture in ways that genuinely matter, because entitlements under the CASS depend on contribution history — for ordinary illness, contributions across specified periods before the event — and a short first season does not put you in the same position as someone with years of contributions.
Winter sport also generates the other half of local demand. After a skiing or snowboarding injury the questions are about documenting an absence from work, supporting an insurance claim, and later establishing fitness to return to duties or to the mountain. Sick Leave, Return to Work and Sports Fitness each have a role there. What none of them replaces is proper assessment of the injury: a suspected fracture, a shoulder or knee injury, a head impact, all need examination and often imaging, and Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell in Escaldes-Engordany is Andorra's hospital for that, with primary care centres across the parishes.
Andorra's statutory rule is the one thing to be absolutely clear about. The CASS administers temporary-incapacity benefit — 66% of the contribution base from the fourth day of the initial medical certificate for ordinary illness, with work accidents paid from day one at different rates, and contribution conditions attached. Crucially, presenting that prescribed initial certificate and its extensions to the CASS is itself the request for the benefit, and it must be issued by a doctor or dentist inside the system attesting the days and the reason. Our certificate is not that document. We cannot issue it and we transmit nothing to the CASS. For a workplace accident on a piste or in a lift station, that distinction is not academic — go through the proper route.
What we offer is the ordinary, useful remainder: a registered doctor reviews what you report and issues a dated PDF recording that assessment, any of the six types at €34.99, for employers, insurers, clubs, schools and airlines. Seasonal workers in particular often need documentation for a recipient in Spain, France, Portugal or further afield, and for that a dated certificate from a named registered doctor is frequently exactly what is wanted.
From 1,280 m to the French border at 2,408 m
The Funicamp gondola lifts from the town into Grandvalira, and El Pas de la Casa sits at 2,408 metres on the French frontier — one of the highest points on the European road network.
A seasonal labour economy
Lift operators, piste crews, instructors, hospitality and rental staff — Grandvalira takes on hundreds of temporary workers each winter across its sectors.
Contribution history matters
CASS entitlements depend on contributions over specified periods before the event, so a first short season does not put you in the same position as a long-contributing worker. Check before you need to.
Injuries need examination, not a form
A suspected fracture, joint injury or head impact needs assessment and often imaging. Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell in Escaldes-Engordany is Andorra's hospital; primary care centres cover the parishes.
Work accidents follow a different route
Accidents at work are handled separately by the CASS and paid from day one. For an injury on a piste or in a lift station, use the prescribed process rather than an online certificate.
All Certificate Types Available in Andorra

Sick Leave Certificate
For work absence, documented as a baixa mèdica and generally coordinated with CASS where a sickness-benefit claim applies.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For clubs, gradings, and competitions requiring medical clearance, including Andorra's skiing, hiking, and other mountain-sports clubs ahead of a season or grading.
From €34.99General Fitness Certificate

Receive your PDF
Emailed same day, usually within a few hours on business days, with the reviewing doctor's details and a verification reference that your employer, school, club, or institution can scan to help confirm authenticity.
Who Accepts a Medical Certificate in Encamp
Acceptance always rests with the recipient. These are the contexts where a dated registered-doctor assessment is normally what is wanted.
Ski area and mountain operators
Lift, piste and rental employers generally want written documentation of an absence and of fitness to return to physical outdoor work. Seasonal contracts often set their own notification rules — read the contract.
Hotels and hospitality in Pas de la Casa
A dated certificate from a registered doctor is the usual documentation for a missed shift. Deadlines in resort hospitality are short because cover has to be found for a specific service.
Travel and accident insurers
A dated assessment from a named doctor commonly supports a claim, including for a curtailed ski trip. For an injury, the insurer will normally also want the treating clinician's findings and any imaging.
Clubs and mountain associations
Sports Fitness certificates support participation where an organiser asks for a doctor's declaration. Bodies running higher-risk activity frequently require their own examination instead.
Schools and training providers
General Medical certificates support an absence from teaching or training. Each institution applies its own evidence rules and deadlines.
Not instructor or work-accident certification
Instructor and mountain-professional medicals are prescribed processes with their own examiners, and work accidents follow the CASS route from day one. We substitute for neither.

Private consultation costs are a general range and vary by clinic and by the reason for the visit.
The gap between our pricing and a typical private consultation in Andorra generally reflects the difference between an online assessment and an in-person clinic visit. You're paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room or receptionist time. Given Andorra's small population and limited concentration of private clinics, a same-day online route is often the more practical option for many people needing documentation quickly, regardless of price. This gap tends to be smaller for specialised certificate types, like sports fitness or fit-to-fly, where finding a private clinic willing to issue same-day paperwork can take longer than the assessment itself.
Andorra Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Encamp
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Encamp exactly as it does anywhere else in Andorra.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Andorra online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Andorra, work absence is generally documented through a baixa mèdica (medical leave certificate), typically issued by a doctor and processed through CASS, Andorra's Social Security fund. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes, a separate certificate type usually applies. Exact requirements can vary by employer, so confirm specifics for your situation before relying on any one document. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Andorra, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Baixa mèdica: Catalan for "medical leave," the general term for a certificate documenting sickness absence |
|---|---|
| Who can issue it | Generally a licensed doctor; CASS's own rules also recognise a dentist as able to prescribe a baixa mèdica for dental-related leave |
| General timing | Per CASS's published rules, the baixa mèdica generally needs to reach both CASS and the employer within 48 hours of the doctor issuing it, though the informal step of telling your employer you're unwell can vary by workplace |
| Processed through | Typically routed through CASS (Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social), Andorra's Social Security fund, for sickness-benefit purposes |
| Sickness-benefit coordination | Where a CASS sickness-benefit claim applies, the baixa mèdica is generally the supporting document. CASS publishes a general rate structure for common illness (around 53% of the daily wage base for days 1-30, rising to about 66% from day 31), though your exact entitlement depends on your specific contribution and salary history, so confirm it with CASS directly |
| Employer notice practice | Because Andorra's private sector is small, the exact internal notification step (who to tell, and how quickly) commonly varies by employer and by whether a collective agreement applies to your role, rather than following one standardized national form |
| Data protection | Andorra is not an EU member state, so EU GDPR does not apply directly; Andorra maintains its own data protection framework |
Note on how firmly these details are sourced: Andorra publishes less standardized, English-language guidance on sick-leave procedure than larger EU states, and we have not been able to confirm a single authoritative source covering every employer type. Treat the rows above as general orientation rather than a legal reference, and confirm your specific notice period, required documentation, and CASS process directly with your employer or with CASS before relying on them for a specific case.
Our Andorra Medical Team
Every Andorra certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Andorra. We are not aware of a single centralised, English-language public register for doctors in Andorra in the way the UK's GMC provides, so rather than point you to a lookup we can't fully verify works the same way, we're direct about how the review works: a licensed doctor genuinely assesses your case, based on the information you provide and, where useful, follow-up questions, before deciding whether a certificate is appropriate.
A certificate is only issued after that genuine assessment. If a doctor decides a certificate is not clinically appropriate for your situation, for example because your case needs an in-person examination the online format cannot replace, we do not issue one, and you receive a full, automatic refund rather than being charged regardless. We do not operate on a pay-first, certificate-guaranteed basis for Andorra or anywhere else we operate.
Registered practitioners, not a call centre.
Every doctor is independently verified against their national medical council before they see a single patient - including for patients in Encamp.

Reg. #1028615Frequently Asked Questions
No, and you would lose out by trying. Work accidents in Andorra are handled by the CASS under their own rules and are paid from the first day rather than the fourth, which is materially better for you than the ordinary-illness route. That requires the prescribed certificate from a doctor inside the Andorran system and the proper accident declaration. Use it — an online certificate has no standing there at all.
That depends on your contribution history, and it is worth establishing at the start of the season rather than in week three. CASS temporary-incapacity benefit for ordinary illness requires contributions over specified periods before the event, so a newly arrived seasonal worker may not yet meet the conditions. Ask the CASS and your employer directly. Whatever the answer, our certificate does not change it.
It can form part of the file as a dated assessment from a named registered doctor, and insurers often ask for exactly that when someone cannot ski or has to go home early. Read the policy first, though: many require the certificate to predate the curtailment, or to come from the clinician who actually treated you, and for an injury they will usually want imaging and treating-clinician findings.
It can be relevant, and you should mention it. Working or exercising at 2,400 metres puts different demands on the body than the valley floor, and for some cardiovascular and respiratory conditions it matters. Say what altitude is involved and for how long. Where a condition makes sustained work at altitude genuinely risky, the honest outcome may be recorded limitations or no certificate at all.
Return to Work. It addresses fitness to resume duties rather than certifying the absence, and for outdoor mountain work the demands are specific: cold, altitude, lifting, long shifts, standing, sometimes machinery. Describe them. If your employer requires its own occupational or pre-season assessment, that process runs alongside and is not replaced by this.
No. It is €34.99 in Andorra all year round, for each of the six certificate types, with no peak, seasonal or surge pricing. A February submission from a ski parish costs exactly what an August one does.
The assessment and the certificate are in English. In a parish where the seasonal workforce is largely Spanish, French, Portuguese and English-speaking, that is worth flagging early: answer the questions accurately in English, and check whether your recipient — employer, insurer or federation — needs the document in another language. We do not provide translations.
Yes, by whatever method your contract specifies, even if it feels futile. Notification and certification are separate obligations and a certificate does not perform the first. Send it in writing so there is a record of the attempt and the date. If the employment has genuinely ended, what you then need is clarity on your status from the employer and from the CASS, not more documentation.
A doctor certifies a period of incapacity based on what you report, not a roster. The period stated is a clinical judgement and may or may not align neatly with your shift pattern. If your employer needs the absence mapped onto specific shifts, that is an administrative exercise for them using the certified period — not something a doctor extends or trims to fit.
No. This is a single assessment producing a single document, not ongoing care: there is no review appointment, no monitoring and no clinician following your recovery. That is a real limitation and worth knowing before you rely on it. Continuity of care in Andorra comes from a primary care centre or the hospital, and for anything ongoing that is where you should be.
