Question 12263 — health professions

Summary

Mrs. Michèle Tabarot draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the updating of the general nomenclature of professional acts concerning independent nurses. Many nurses deplore that this nomenclature has become unsuitable and obsolete. It no longer corresponds to the procedures prescribed by doctors, thereby becoming a significant source of errors in billing. The consequences are very burdensome for these self-employed professionals who, several years later, may be asked to reimburse overpayments, sometimes very heavy, while in the vast majority of cases the errors are made in good faith precisely because of the unsuitability of the nomenclature. Liberal nurses are at the heart of the outpatient development project through the care they provide at home. It is therefore appropriate to give them better means and increased security in the exercise of their profession. Several avenues for improvement are therefore possible. First, by a more diligent examination of the invoices issued by private nurses in order to reduce the time during which reimbursement can be claimed from them. Furthermore, it would be desirable to demonstrate greater understanding when these rating errors do not arise from a fraudulent intent. Finally, professionals and their representatives are calling for the definition of a new, modern and better adapted nomenclature, in order to limit the difficulties linked to invoicing. In view of these elements, she would like the Government to be able to make known the measures it could take in this direction.
