Question 6589 — health professions

Summary

The Government is fully aware of the role of physiotherapists in meeting health needs.  The latest negotiations between Health Insurance and the profession resulted in the signing of an amendment proposing major upgrades to the activity of masseurs-physiotherapists, allowing an increase in the basic act to 18 euros. Financial aid was also provided for home care provided by masseurs-physiotherapists: specific fixed travel allowances were thus extended and increased to €4. Thus, this amendment included 530 million euros in additional remuneration for 70,000 physiotherapists, the entry into force of which began in July 2023. The revaluation of the basic act and the financial support provided by Health Insurance were accompanied Furthermore, a strengthening of the place of the masseur-physiotherapist in public health provision, in terms of prevention and access to physiotherapy care, in a context of an aging population and an increase in patients suffering from chronic pathologies. In this context, the amendment provided for the creation of new strong acts for masseurs-physiotherapists whose role was reinforced in numerous areas: identification of loss of autonomy, management of heart failure, chronic pathologies or even multiple disabilities. This amendment was signed by a representative union, the French federation of masseurs physiotherapists re-educators, on December 16, 2022. However, the other two representative unions chose to oppose it. This hinders the entry into force of the 530 million euros of revaluations. In the absence of an agreement, the current agreement remains valid until the opening of new negotiations, respecting the timetable for relations between health insurance and other health professions.
