Question 24609 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Ms. Aina Kuric draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to dispensation fees. The 2015 agreement between health insurance and pharmacists aims, by establishing these fees, to no longer base the financing of pharmacies on commercial margins from the sale of medicines. This new system is part of the policy of successive governments to reduce insurance expenses disease by controlling the costs arising from the sale of medicines. As the financing of pharmacies no longer relies on margins from sales, the introduction of dispensing fees aims to encourage pharmacists to offer less expensive medications and in quantities better suited to prescriptions. This system, although neutral for the patient, is not neutral for health insurance whose budget for financing pharmacies increased by 280 million euros in 2019. Also, she would like to know if the establishment of this new financing system has allowed pharmacies to be truly involved in controlling the costs linked to drug reimbursements.
