Question 12059 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Manon Bouquin alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities about the support for continuous glucose sensors in EHPADs. Indeed, the decree of May 30, 2008 fixing the list of small medical equipment and medical supplies and the list of depreciable medical equipment included in the daily rate relating to the care mentioned in article R. 314-161 of the code of social action and families in application of articles L. 314-8 and R. 314-162 of the same code, predates the marketing of continuous glucose sensors. However, their use represents a significant advance in the care of diabetes and has become widely used since then. This regulatory blind spot leads to the non-support of these sensors for patients in EHPADs, the CPAMs believing that they are the responsibility of the EHPADs, whereas the latter believe that on the contrary they are the responsibility of health insurance. Elderly diabetic patients are thus deprived of their medical device when entering an EHPAD, creating inconsistency in their care but also with regard to dependent patients monitored at home, whose care for these sensors is ensured for long-term conditions. Many patients and associations are alerting to this state of affairs present for several months. They denounce unequal treatment and regulatory inconsistency which harms the quality of care for patients in EHPADs, forced to use older, more invasive and less convenient methods such as hair puncture. It therefore wishes to know if it will very soon update the decree of May 30, 2008 to harmonize the support for sensors of continuous glucose, in order to guarantee homogeneous care conditions for diabetic patients inside and outside the establishments concerned.
