Negotiations between Health Insurance and liberal doctors resumed at the end of June and the Social Security offered on Wednesday a little more than the 550 million euros put on the table at the end of 2020, but the unions still consider that "
the account does not is not
”.

The lines have changed little in six months: interrupted because of professional elections, negotiations on a new amendment to the medical convention are still stumbling on its budget. Health Insurance has however revised up the amount of revaluations for general practitioners, from 100 to 140 million euros, mainly intended for home visits to chronically ill patients over 80 years old, according to a document consulted by AFP . Ditto for specialists, whose envelope goes from 80 to 140 million also, mainly for the benefit of pediatricians, psychiatrists and surgeons. In addition, 400 million euros for digital, in particular to push for the use of shared medical records (DMP), spread over 2022 and 2023 as part of the “
Ségur de la santé
”.
"
The investment that we are putting on the table is very significant,
" said the director of Health Insurance, Thomas Fatôme, in an interview with Les Echos on Tuesday.
"
It's a little more than initially planned
", recognizes Jacques Battistoni (MG France, 1st general practitioner union), but "
compared to the upgrades of Ségur in the hospital, the difference is enormous
".
A "sprinkling"
"
Today we do not sign
" this amendment because "
it is not enough
", slice Patrick Gasser (Avenir Spé-Le Bloc, first among specialists). "
The account is not there
", but "
we can reach an agreement,
" said Jean-Paul Ortiz (CSMF), calling for "
a complementary gesture
" from the government. "
We have to give ourselves the means to do what we want
", insists Corinne le Sauder (FMF), denouncing a "
sprinkling
" which "
does not correspond to expectations
". The unions are now waiting for a final text, which the Sécu will send them next week, and on which they will have to take a position before the end of July, so that a possible agreement can enter into force at the beginning of 2022.
