Question 13241 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Paul Christophe questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about hearing aids for children with major ear aplasia. Access to hearing aids constitutes a significant burden for many French people who, due to lack of means, sometimes forgo this care. The President of the Republic is committed to providing access to 100% covered care in the field of audiology. After an intense phase consultation and discussion, the social security financing bill for 2019 introduces the reform of “zero remaining charges” which will be implemented gradually over the next three years. Care baskets have thus been defined, the full reimbursement of which will be ensured by health insurance and supplementary health insurance. At present, it appears that the specific devices needed in the event major aplasia are not affected by the reform. However, these devices are very expensive and need to be changed, on average, every five years. The financial impact for families is therefore very significant and really weighs on their budget. The departmental centers for disabled people also refuse, in the majority of cases, to grant aid to these families, as the child's disability is not considered. as sufficient. Consequently, he would like to know whether the Government intends to include the necessary devices in the event of major aplasia as part of the “zero charge” reform.
