Question 10038 — maternity health insurance

Summary

This law reflects the Government's strong commitment to the fight against menstrual poverty, by providing for the coverage of reusable periodic protection for women under 26 and beneficiaries of complementary solidarity health insurance. The operational implementation of this measure requires implementing texts. As such, Decree No. 2026-288 of April 17, 2026 relating to insurance coverage disease reusable periodic protection has been published. It specifies the terms of application. As an extension, a project notice defining the specifications for eligible products was also published on April 23, 2026. These specifications specify in particular the categories of products concerned, their technical specifications and their manufacturing conditions in order to guarantee a high level of requirements in terms of quality and health safety of products. This project is currently the subject of an assessment by the national agency for food, environmental and occupational health safety, whose opinion is expected soon, prior to the publication of the specifications by decree. Following the publication of the decree, companies will be able to request the listing of their product. Firstly, in order to allow rapid entry into force, periodic protection will be distributed by community pharmacists. However, an alternative distribution method via an online ordering platform will be put in place subsequently. The effective entry into force of the coverage of reusable periodic protection is planned for the start of the 2026 academic year. The Government remains fully mobilized to ensure rapid and secure deployment of this highly anticipated measure.
