Question 26434 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Philippe Gomès draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the coverage of transport costs in a bariatric ambulance. This mode of transport, intended in particular for obese people, has an additional cost compared to conventional ambulances because it requires a specific vehicle and a crew of four people. However, this mode of transport is only covered by health insurance on the basis of the cost of a travel by conventional ambulance. The high amount of the out-of-pocket cost for the patient, which can represent several hundred euros per trip, causes a large number of them to forgo care, thus worsening their state of health. This situation seems all the more unfair since obesity leads to various pathologies such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, which require monitoring. regular medical care. It therefore asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to improve the coverage, by health insurance, of bariatric ambulance transport costs and thus guarantee that people suffering from obesity have equal access to care compared to non-obese patients.
