Question 32237 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Erwan Balanant draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the coverage of transport costs in a bariatric ambulance. Bariatric health transport for people suffering from obesity or with disabilities requires a vehicle equipped with specific equipment and a dedicated team of four people. If the use of a so-called “classic” means of medical transport is reimbursed by health insurance, the additional cost of a bariatric ambulance is not covered by social security, including when the patient presents a medical prescription to this effect. Therefore, the remaining costs for patients having to resort to this transport can be significant, particularly if they suffer from chronic pathologies requiring regular medical monitoring and frequent appointments in hospitals. This lack of financial support for bariatric ambulance transport costs can make it difficult to access care for disabled or obese people, who do not have the financial means to bear the additional cost. Also, he would like to know what measures he plans to take to remedy this discriminatory situation.
