Question 5252 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Jonathan Gery draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the management of medical examinations linked to the diagnosis of endometriosis, as well as treatments. Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women. The average duration of its diagnosis is 7 to 10 years, during which the woman suffering from this chronic disease in will suffer and will be obliged to undergo a multitude of examinations and medical appointments in the hope of obtaining a diagnosis which can, for some, constitute significant expenses. It should be remembered that the price of a consultation is currently 30 euros with a general practitioner and 60 euros with a specialist. It should also be remembered that 5% of the French population, or almost 3 million French people, do not have mutual and must therefore cover part of these expenses. Educating doctors about the symptoms and means of diagnosis and setting up free screening campaigns could help reduce diagnosis time and therefore allow all these women to be reimbursed after their examinations and to obtain treatment. Additionally, reimbursement for the pill when taken in response to endometriosis would be more than desirable, because most pills are expensive and not reimbursed by social security. Investments in the research sector would also be an avenue to explore, as there is, to date, no effective treatment for the disease itself. He therefore asks what measures will be proposed to improve reimbursement for examinations, medical appointments as well as treatments linked to endometriosis.
