The price of the consultation with the general practitioner will drop from 25 euros to 26.50 euros, according to the “arbitration rules” presented to the unions of liberal doctors on Monday. Health Minister François Braun announced that he would approve it “in the coming days”.
A consultation with the general practitioner will soon cost 26.50 euros, against 25 euros currently. Two months after the failure of negotiations between the liberal doctors and the Health Insurance, the senior official designated for “arbitrate” the file, Annick Morel, proposed this Monday an increase in the price of the consultation of 1.50 euro, according to the “arbitration rulespresented to the unions of liberal doctors.
Among specialists, the proposed increase would bring the consultation to 31.50 euros, against 30 euros today. This regulation must now be submitted for validation by the Minister of Health François Braun, who announced on Monday that he would approve it “in the coming days“. These revaluations must therefore come into force “at the end of a period of six months“, or at the earliest at the end of October, according to this document of which AFP obtained a copy. The text will serve as a medical convention valid for five years, but with an obligation to reopen negotiations within two years. François Braun was in favor of a “resumption of negotiations after the summer».
Former inspector general of social affairs (Igas), Annick Morel therefore resumed as it was the increase proposed at the beginning of the year by the Social Security and which had angered liberal doctors. The latter had refused this proposal en bloc at the end of February, the total cost of which amounts to 600 million in a full year. And this despite an envelope of 1.5 billion euros per year, in the long term, to upgrade the consultations.
The “territorial commitment contract” not retained
On the other hand, “no revaluation subject to a territorial commitmentwas not retained. The unions had indeed braced themselves against this second price level (30 euros for general practitioners) reserved for practitioners accepting certain counterparties: taking more patients, doing night shifts, practicing in a medical desert, working on Saturdays Morning…
The former inspector of social affairs has also fished out several measures dear to the executive. For “free up medical time“, the financial assistance for the recruitment of medical assistants will thus be “widened and relaxed“. Emmanuel Macron has set a target of 10,000 jobs at the end of 2024, against just over 4,300 to date. Unlike price increases, this decision will apply without delay, as will the creation of a new consultation at 60 euros for the acceptance of a chronic patient without a treating doctor. Here too, the Head of State promised that the 700,000 people in this situation would see themselves “propose a treating doctor before the end of the year».
Nor is there a time limit for the “response to urgent and unscheduled care“. The referee chose toperpetuate“the incentives for liberals who participate in the”regulation» by telephone from the Samu (100 euros per hour) and to receive patients within 48 hours (additional 15 euros). Two key points of themission flash» that François Braun implemented upon his arrival in the summer of 2022.
