Question 7913 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Eric Liégeon draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the subject of the neurological disease cluster headache (AVF). This disease, often chronic, is refractory to treatment. Patients who suffer from it live with intense and disabling pain. AVF's nickname is "suicide disease." According to a study dated February 24, 2020, relayed by several scientific media, this disease would be classified as the most intense pain measured in humans, based on the McGill pain scale. Despite the fact that it affects 120,000 people in France, this disease is not recognized in its chronic form. To date, neither the departmental centers for disabled people (MDPH), nor the National Insurance Fund illness (CNAM) do not recognize AVF as a disabling illness systematically giving entitlement to care for a long-term illness (ALD), or to the disabled adult allowance (AAH). This situation plunges patients into medical wandering. Thus, he asks the Government if it intends to recognize AVF as a long-term condition.
