Question 8410 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Thermal treatments may be covered by compulsory health insurance when they are prescribed by a doctor and are part of the treatment of given pathologies. The national thermal convention, signed on November 8, 2017 between health insurance and the National Council of Thermal Establishments (CNETh), aims in particular to guarantee policyholders' access to quality hydrotherapy, and to strengthen the therapeutic effectiveness of thermal treatments. This convention specifies the maximum number of applications of mud and poultices on each body segment, prescribed by the doctor. This measure aims to provide recommendations on the maximum number of applications to be made, which were the subject of a consensus between health insurance and representatives of thermal establishments. The convention also introduces the obligation to provide each curist with a towel each day when the treatments apply only to the otolaryngologist (ENT) sphere, and a towel and a bathrobe or a towel and a bath sheet, in other cases. The composition of the linen package given to spa guests therefore remains adaptable by each establishment. Furthermore, it is not proven that substituting towels for bathrobes can cause a deterioration of conditions care for spa guests.
