Question 13818 — health

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Rousset draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the conditions for recognition and financing of mobile oral care devices deployed in the territories, particularly in rural and under-resourced areas. In a context of persistent tensions over access to care, particularly in terms of oral health, these mobile units constitute a concrete response to reach out to those groups furthest from healthcare provision, particularly people in precarious or isolated situations. Some of these systems, implemented in conjunction with faculties of dentistry training future dental surgeons, enable dental surgery students, supervised by qualified practitioners, to carry out care procedures under conditions guaranteeing their quality, security and their traceability, the acts being also duly rated in accordance with the nomenclatures in force. They also contribute, in a complementary manner, to prevention and oral health education actions, particularly among school populations. However, these structures face a major administrative and legal difficulty: in the absence of identification in the FINESS directory, the acts carried out cannot may be transmitted to health insurance organizations and cannot, therefore, be covered under common law. This situation creates a gap between the recognition of the health and social usefulness of these devices and their inability to access sustainable financing mechanisms under common law, even though they contribute to the objectives of prevention and access to care carried out by the public policies. It threatens their economic model and poses a risk of interruption of essential care provision in terms of prevention, screening and early care. This situation calls into question, more broadly, the adequacy of the legal framework applicable to mobile care structures, particularly when they are linked to health training establishments. In this context, he asks him if the The Government intends to clarify or change the conditions of identification in the FINESS directory in order to better take into account the specificity of mobile care structures, particularly those linked to university establishments. He would also like to know what adaptations could be considered to allow health insurance to cover the procedures carried out in these systems, as long as they meet the requirements. requirements for quality, safety and traceability of care and, more broadly, what measures it intends to take to secure, over time, the model of these innovative devices, essential to improving access to oral care throughout the territory.
