Question 10207 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Jonathan Gery draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the worrying consequences of the price reductions planned for medical imaging as part of the latest social security financing law. Since October 1, 2025, many liberal radiology groups, particularly in the Rhône, have joined the national movement of permanent care strike, initiated by the National Federation of Radiologists (FNMR). This movement follows the establishment of a saving of 300 million euros on imaging, implemented mainly through sudden reductions in technical packages, which nevertheless finance the majority of the operating costs of the structures (equipment, maintenance, salaries, energy, etc.). Health professionals denounce unilateral decision which seriously jeopardizes the economic balance of radiology practices, particularly local ones, and which ultimately risks reducing access to care for patients. They point out that radiology plays a fundamental role in care pathways, whether it involves screening, diagnosis or therapeutic alternatives to surgery thanks to interventional radiology. Furthermore, the commitments made by the CNAM as part of the reform of contrast products have not been respected. Professionals, who had agreed to cover these products on the condition that no sudden price reduction was imposed, are now seeing a step backwards that is detrimental to their activity and to patients. The recent IGAS and IGF report, on which this policy is based, is strongly criticized by the profession for its approximations, its lack of medical perspective and its lack of knowledge of the field. Radiologists warn of the effects of this strictly accounting approach, which slows down innovation, endangers equitable access to care and compromises the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence or breast tomosynthesis. He therefore asks what guarantees the Government can provide to preserve a provision of quality radiology care throughout the territory and what its intentions are regarding a possible reopening of dialogue with representatives of the profession, in order to define a financial trajectory that is both sustainable for practitioners and compatible with the imperatives of innovation and public health.
