Question 9960 — health

Summary

Expenditure in the medical imaging sector, which represents nearly €6 billion, has increased by an average of 6% per year for five years, i.e. more than the development forecast by the national health insurance expenditure objective (2.3% in 2018), despite price reductions. This trend is explained by a significant increase in the number of procedures and in particular the most technical and expensive (scanography, resonance imaging magnetic, scintigraphy). Thus, the price reductions did not lead to a reduction in health insurance financing for this sector but to a reduction in the trend, which went from an average of 8% per year to 6% per year. Furthermore, these savings are essentially made up of medicalized control actions, in order to support the evolution of the profession in an approach to the relevance of imaging examinations. medical and improving the quality of care. In this dynamic, a new memorandum of understanding covering the years 2018-2020 was signed on April 11, 2018 between the National Federation of Radiologists and the National Union of Health Insurance Funds. This protocol makes it possible to renew contracts with representatives of this sector which had been interrupted since 2015 by providing for targeted price reductions and thus anticipated by professionals and by giving priority to relevant actions on the basis of an observation shared between health professionals and health insurance.
