Question 15029 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Falcon questions the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity on the recognition of long-term illness for “long covid”. According to a study by Public Health France, two million French people have a prevalence of post-covid-19 illness, according to the criteria defined by the WHO, or 3% of the French population. The study reports that 1.2% of the population surveyed would declare that this condition has a impact on daily activities. The symptoms are numerous and can be restrictive on a daily basis: shortness of breath, headaches, anosmia, ageusia or even intense fatigue. Monitoring is required in the event of a condition of this type. However, the majority of these patients struggle to obtain a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The “Zumkeller” law of January 24, 2022 provides for the creation of a referencing platform and comprehensive care of these patients. Unfortunately, no decree has allowed the implementation of this law and this condition is not recognized as a long-term condition (ALD). This situation forces patients to cover medical costs, which are often very costly in a context of dereimbursement of procedures by social security and complementary health insurance. The recognition of “ long covid” in long-term illness would allow patients to have a total or partial exemption from costs. Consequently, he asks her if she is considering automatic recognition of post-covid-19 illness as a long-term illness and the establishment of a real policy for monitoring patients, often left to their fate and who suffer from isolation.
