After an increase of 8.4% in 2024, complementary funds will in fact be even more expensive soon.

Doctors are increasing the price of their consultations

Signed between Health Insurance and private doctors, the agreement aims to “fundamentally transform our local health system to maintain its quality and accessibility”. The objective was, among other things, to improve the working conditions of doctors but also to encourage them to set up offices in the city. Among the first measures: the revaluation of consultations.

For a general practitioner, they go from 26.50 euros to 30 euros. For other specialties, the increases will take place in two stages, the first on December 22 and the second on July 1, 2025. The medical gynecologist will therefore go from 33.50 euros to 37 euros on December 22 then to 40 euros in July. For the psychiatrist, the change will be from 51.70 to 55 euros today then 57 euros in July. Will you have to pay more?
