Question 17836 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Hervé Saulignac draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the reimbursement of homeopathic medicines. Currently, the majority of homeopathic products are reimbursed at a maximum of 30%, the others being sold without a prescription. According to the order of doctors, 56% of French people have already used homeopathy and many French families use homeopathy to prevent certain chronic illnesses or pathologies. Furthermore, on a financial level, each drop in the reimbursement rate for homeopathic medicines results in a transfer of medical prescriptions towards allopathic or traditional medicines which are around four to five times more expensive. Freezing reimbursement for homeopathic medicines would be an obstacle not only to patients' freedom of choice but also to practice. of individualized medicine because the prescription of these drugs is knowingly chosen by conscientious doctors. In August 2018, the Ministry of Health contacted the High Health Authority (HAS) about the conditions for reimbursement of homeopathic medicines. Pending the opinion to be issued in the spring by the HAS, he asks it to kindly indicate its position on the matter.
