Question 10037 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the delay in application of the reimbursement measure for reusable menstrual protection for insured persons under 26 years of age and for all beneficiaries of complementary solidarity health insurance (C2S), a measure adopted in the financing law for social security (LFSS) for 2024. According to government communications, this support was to take place “during 2024”, with terms announced at 60% for those under 26 (the balance falling under supplementary benefits) and 100% for C2S beneficiaries; Article 40 of Law No. 2023-1250 of December 26, 2023 also created the legal framework, making support subject to the registration of products. by ministerial decree. However, this registration has still not been published, preventing the effective implementation of the system. On May 28, 2025, on the occasion of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, the Government committed to making this reimbursement effective “before the end of the year” 2025 for young women and the most vulnerable. The Minister recognized "an unacceptable [...] delay", without the announced deadline being, at this up to date, secured by the publication of the required application texts. On September 23, 2025, the Elementary Rules association publicly denounced a broken promise, indicating that it had been informed of a postponement “without timetable or explanation” and believing that “the Government is in the process of sweeping it under the rug”. These alerts, corroborated by several recent press articles, fuel concerns about political stagnation and regulatory. However, this measure is a health, social, economic and environmental emergency. It responds to a public health and equality emergency: menstrual poverty massively affects menstruating people in Europe, with concrete effects on education, employment, health and dignity; secure access to reusable and quality products is a preventive and emancipatory policy; it is targeted at reusable products, consistent with the objectives of reducing waste and exposure to certain substances and are in line with international menstrual health standards defined by scientific literature; it is consistent with the LFSS 2024 and only requires the publication of orders establishing the list of reimbursable products, provided for by article L. 162-59 of the social security code. In view of these elements, it would like to know precisely what are the causes of the postponement preventing the publication of the implementing texts as well as to be sent the firm timetable, with target dates for publication of each text and effective date of entry into force for insured persons under 26 years of age and for C2S beneficiaries with no age limit; she hopes to be able to count on the Government to publish as soon as possible the expected texts, in accordance with the mandate of Parliament in the LFSS 2024 and the government commitments of May 28, 2025.
