Question 12796 — alternative medicines

Summary

Ms. Anne-Sophie Ronceret draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the uncertainties surrounding the reimbursement of osteopathic procedures by complementary organizations, within the framework of so-called “responsible” contracts. Indeed, an information report from the Senate devoted to supplementary health insurance proposed making the coverage of certain “medicine” services optional. “soft” and to remove these guarantees from the scope of joint and responsible contracts, in order to control their cost. Furthermore, in a context of broader reflection on the financial balance of the social protection system, a joint report from the High Council for the Future of Health Insurance, the High Council for the Family, Children and Age and the High Council for the Financing of Social Protection, submitted in July 2025, underlines the need for a lasting recovery of social accounts leading to questioning the levers of efficiency and the articulation between compulsory and complementary health insurance. However, the social security financing law for 2026, as promulgated, does not include an explicit provision relating to osteopathy. Under these conditions, the MP wishes to question the Minister on the possibility, in the short or medium In the long term, an evolution by regulation of the scope of responsible complementary insurance contracts, so as to totally or partially exclude the coverage of osteopathic procedures, or if on the contrary it intends to confirm the maintenance of this possibility of reimbursement. She also questions him on the timetable and the methods of consultation which would be retained with the stakeholders, as well as on the method to assess the impact of a possible development on access to care and the remainder payable by patients. Finally, representatives of the profession indicate that they have initiated discussions with the Government on a project to create an independent public authority aimed at better supervising and structuring the profession in the interest of patients (registration of professionals, control of initial and continuing training, development and monitoring of ethics, recommendations for good practices, research funding, etc.). She would like to know whether the Government intends to follow up on this proposal and, if so, according to what timetable and in what manner.
