How to stop the sale of false work strikes on social networks or on the Internet? Health insurance makes a new paper form mandatory on July 1, which is difficult to falsify and safer. “
If the disease license is established very well today in a dematerialized and safe way, the births of false work still represent for health insurance a financial damage of “more than 30 million euros in 2024, against 8 million in 2023”, transmits the official website of the French administration.
The sale of false stops on social networks or on the Internet is “at the origin of this strong increase,” according to this platform. These fraudulent sites are denounced by Deputy Antoine Vermorel-Marques (Republican Law). The Loire’s elected official tells on his social networks how “for 19 euros, without even seeing a doctor” was able to obtain a counterfeit work strike.
In the immediate future, the French administration makes it mandatory since Tuesday a new way “difficult to falsify and safer”, for any work strike in paper format.
Magnetic ink
Available since September 2024, this document has so far been recommended only to health professionals. The newcomer presents seven authentication points: a special article, a holographic label, a magnetic ink or even the prescriber identification features.
The work arrest documents “that can be filled and then printed from the prescription software” will now be rejected by health insurance organizations. He will do the same “for the scan and the photocopy of a work strike.”
Health insurance recalls in approval that “a work arrest cannot be obtained without consultation or teleconsultation with a health professional.” In case of teleconsultation, work strike or the renewal of the labor stop “cannot exceed a period of three days if the prescriber is neither the treating doctor nor the midfielder of the referent.”
For health professionals, television through the Amelipro platform “of a dematerialized work arrest warning remains the safest means to avoid usurpations and fraud,” he still insists on health insurance.
Almost eight out of ten work strikes are already transmitted in a dematerialized health insurance “by prescribers (mainly doctors or midwives) from their computer,” said this organization. This remote transmission allows “not only the shortest care deadlines, but also reinforced safety conditions.”
Prison, fines
But in certain situations, such as a home consultation, the use of an electronic work stop is not possible, and “a cerf paper form in three components should be used,” is health insurance.
Then, the patient must send the 1 and 2 blinds within 48 hours to the medical service of their primary health insurance (CPAM). Like 3, the employer will be given, if the patient is an employee, or to be preserved, if he is a self -employed. If the patient is unemployed, component 3 should be transmitted to France’s work.
The insured that is transmitted to health insurance for false work strikes is exposed to “strong financial sanctions,” warns the organization. The scammers are likely to “completely reimburse the daily assignments perceived daily.” “Very high financial sanctions, up to three times the amount of financial damage suffered by health insurance” can also be applied.
In the case of recurrence or magnitude fraud, legal procedures can begin “for the false use of false and fraud, punishable crimes for 5 years in prison and 375,000 euros fine.”
