Question 31129 — French people abroad

Summary

Ms. Paula Forteza questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the reimbursement rate for medicines for French people living abroad. The order issued by the Minister of Health dated June 25, 2019 (JO 152 of July 3, 2019), in application of article 4 of the law of December 24, 2018 relating to the reform of the Fund for French people living abroad, sets different reimbursement rates according to four zones geographical. In this period of health crisis particularly affecting Latin America with more than 100,000 deaths, many French people living in this region are wondering about the justification for such a difference in reimbursement: for the same contribution, the same medicine is likely to be reimbursed at 65% in Argentina, compared to 20% in Uruguay. The MP considers that such a gap could prove detrimental for the most precarious French people living abroad, particularly during the current sequence. She therefore invites him to clarify the position of the ministry and to indicate on which elements the differences in reimbursement of one country compared to another are based; in a context of health crisis, this differentiation questions the relevance of equal treatment in the face of such a geographic gap.
