Question 14068 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Michèle Tabarot draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the consequences of the application of the information note from the General Directorate of Healthcare Supply of March 19, 2018 relating to the arrangements for covering patient transport, which came into force on October 1, 2018. This text specifies the conditions for application of the reform introduced by article 80 of the healthcare financing law. social security for 2017, relating to the coverage by health establishments of transport expenses. The new nomenclature, imposed by this note, categorizes transport costs linked to leave trips among the expenses which can no longer be billed to health insurance. Therefore, for disabled patients or affected by an illness requiring permanent care in a hospital structure, the temporary return home is now their responsibility. Such a development leads to dramatic situations where severely disabled children can no longer return home on weekends because their parents cannot bear the cost alone, especially since the reception facilities are very often very far from their homes. Allow the sick and disabled to meet their loved ones regularly is, however, a necessity for which national solidarity must fully play a role. Also, she would like to know if the Government intends to reverse this provision which so heavily penalizes families already affected by the illness or disability of a loved one.
