Don't be surprised if the prix of some of your medical consultations increase in the coming days.
These increases are linked to the new agreement, signed in June by Health Insurance and the unions of private doctors, to define their relations over the period 2024-2029.
Here's what it changes for you.
General practitioner
From Sunday December 22, the reference consultation of general practitioners will therefore take place from 26.50 to 30 euros.
At the same time, “the consultant’s one-off opinion”which pays for the expertise provided by a specialist at the request of a general practitioner, increases from 56.50 to 60 euros.
Objective: to encourage the installation of doctors in town practices, by making the activity “plus attractive”, particularly for general practitioners who see a million patients per day.
No change for the wallet of the majority of French people: these prices are reimbursed by health insurance (70%) and complementary (30%), after deduction of the two euros of “flat rate contribution” always due by the patient (within the limit of 50 euros per year/patient).
However, 4% of French people do not benefit from complementary health insurance and will automatically see their out-of-pocket costs increase.
Child psychiatry
Other consultations will increase in two stages, partially on Sunday then on July 1, for certain specialties whose income is lower and to respond to “public health issues”.
Faced with the deterioration of the mental health of young people in particular, the child psychiatry consultation will be paid 67 euros Sunday Then 75 euros from July 1compared to 54.70 today. It will be usable until the patient is 25 years old.
Pediatrics
In pediatrics, the three compulsory consultations of the child which require a “certificate” of the doctor will pass to 54 euros SundayThen 60 euros on July 1st (47.50 currently).
Other mandatory examinations (100% covered by Health Insurance) and routine follow-up consultations are also increased.
The agreement creates a new pediatric expertise consultation up to 16 years oldat 60 euros, upon referral (from a doctor, midwife, speech therapist, etc.) to strengthen in particular the early detection of developmental disorders and chronic pathologies.
Psychiatrists
Does the classic consultation of psychiatrists move to 55 euros Sunday Then 57 euros in the long term (51.70 today).
