The rest of the patients have gone to increase even more. Invited on TF1 this Thursday, July 7, the Minister of Health and Access to Care, Yannick Neuder, once again defended the government project, to double the medical franchises and flat participations. These little sums, which are discreetly deduced by the health insurance of their medicine or medical consultations, among others.
However, insidiously, the government presented its pawns. When Prime Minister François Bayrou presented his public finance recovery plan on July 15, the question of duplicating the medical franchise roofs and flat participations.
As of 2026, health insurance can withdraw up to 200 euros per year in total reimbursements: 100 euros for deductibles, 100 euros for holding rates.
The amount of deductibles will also double
Later, the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and families, Catherine Vautrin, announced, on July 26 in an interview in the world, the increase in the amounts of medical franchises and participations of flat rates. Subsequently, Yannick Neuder prepared the spirits to double: “It can be two euros,” he said in Franceinfo’s microphone on July 31, with respect to the rest of the patients for a medication box.
What the information of the echoes seems to confirm this Thursday. The Economic newspaper indicates that a draft has been sent to obtain advice to health insurance funds. And it would be a matter of doubling the amounts of franchises and participations of flat rates, and that, starting next November.
Therefore, the rest of the patients will increase to 2 euros instead of 1 euro in drug boxes. And it will increase to 4 euros instead of 2 euros in medical consultations, without taking into account any excess rates that can be added to the patient’s note. And if we continue the logic until the end, the deductible doctor deducted by health insurance on travel reimbursements for health transport will increase from 4 to 8 euros.
A decree is sufficient
However, Yannick Neuder said Thursday that “all these measures will be discussed in Parliament”, considering that “it is Parliament that decides in the end.” However, any modification of the amount of medical franchises and flat participations that already exist is a simple ministerial decree that will appear in the official magazine. In other words, the Government will not need to consult the deputies and senators about these unpopular measures to achieve their purposes.
