Question 20217 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Fadila Khattabi draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of out-of-pocket expenses represented, particularly for long-term illnesses, by the costs incurred by illness and its treatments not fully reimbursed to users of the health system. A study, conducted by 60 million consumers on October 25, 2016, shows that despite the long-term illness system (ALD) whose costs care are 100% covered by health insurance, the remainder payable by people covered by this plan was estimated in 2014 at 750 euros per year per person. Subjective, the perception of the remainder depends on the resources and the standard of living of the sick people. People experiencing drops in income report more expenses that remain their responsibility. These costs may be linked to transport costs for follow-up examinations (26% of people with dependents); medications with little or no reimbursement which are still prescribed in the post-cancer period to prevent or treat adverse effects (29%); consultations with professionals such as psychologists, dietitians, etc. (26%); fee overruns, for example for breast reconstruction or breast implant replacement operations more than 10 years after the end of treatment (23%); dental problems (18%). In addition, the costs caused by the cancerous disease do not stop when the treatments end. In fact, 1 in 2 people say they have outstanding expenses between 2 and 5 years after the end of treatment. Almost 2 out of 10 still report it more than 25 years after treatment. Particularly sensitive to this question, she wishes to know the actions it intends to put in place in order to reduce or even eliminate these remaining charges.
