Question 23817 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Albane Gaillot draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the inadequacies in the coverage of cervical cancer screening. Nearly 3,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year. Many women currently do not benefit from this screening, mainly in the most vulnerable populations. In May 2018, the Government announced the establishment of a national program organized screening for cervical cancer and, among other things, 100% coverage of cervico-uterine sampling. However, cervical cancer screening is not limited to this sample. In the event of an abnormal smear, it is necessary to carry out a colposcopy then a biopsy if the cells taken turn out to be abnormal. The Federation of Doctors of France alerted the public authorities on May 11, 2019 about the modification of the invoicing of medical procedures for cervical cancer screening, thus complicating their coverage by social security. Thus, the biopsy is no longer reimbursed to patients. This anomaly constitutes a financial obstacle, for health professionals and patients alike, which must be urgently removed to guarantee equitable access to cervical cancer screening. In view of these elements, she asks him for the state of his thoughts on the concrete measures which can enable the full coverage of cervical cancer screening as quickly as possible.
