Question 10397 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Perceval Gaillard draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the publication of implementing decrees relating to the law aimed at improving the coverage of care and devices specific to the treatment of breast cancer by health insurance. Promulgated on February 5, Law No. 2025-106 aimed at improving the management of care and devices specific to treatment of breast cancer through health insurance cannot apply due to the absence of implementing decrees. By way of illustration, by this law, acts of dermopigmentation of the areola-nipple plaque, underwear suitable for wearing removable breast prostheses and the renewal of breast prostheses are subject to full reimbursement. However, the absence of decrees hinders the application of this law, both expected by the 700,000 women affected by breast cancer. In fact, patients today remain faced with out-of-pocket costs, more or less high depending on their complementary health insurance. The MP would like to recall some data relating to socio-economic inequalities. According to INSEE, in 2021, the individual income of working women is 24% lower than that of men, which implies differences in the level of life, which has an impact on poverty rates. Women are more often in poverty than men. Financial fragility should in no way constitute a barrier for women involved in a care and post-cancer journey. In this month of pink October, he asks for the immediate publication of these implementing decrees while breast cancer is the most common cancer in France and represents the leading cause of cancer death in women.
