“I made a double offer” To health players, which the minister met on Friday. Moon “in the short term “the other more “structural “he explained on Wednesday. First, if the professional groups concerned and the hospital sector “can demonstrate “ By September 15, on the basis “concrete facts and cases “, that the planned percentages compromise the financial viability of the sector or the institution, the government will increase the planned ceilings, promises the minister.
“If the reform of the nomenclature or the reform of the financing of hospitals is not completed for January 1, 2028, the limitation of fees will be deferred by one year.”
In a second step, once the ceilings have been specified, the government will have to authorize overruns on a case -by -case basis, according to a duly established procedure. Every two years, care providers and mutuals set together the prices of medical and paramedical services during consultations provided for this purpose (we speak of medical agreement for doctors, dentomut for dentists, kinémut for physiotherapists, etc.).
These agreements of agreements will be able to give a reasoned opinion for the exceeding of a fee ceiling, which the government will be required to execute, under penalty of putting the whole tariff agreement on the ground. It will not be a question of increasing the ceilings in general, but of doing so to “Certain disciplines, certain benefits, certain subsectors”said Vandenbroucke.
“The Vandenbroucke reform jeopardizes the complete balance of the health care system”
Politics that decides everything
According to him, this proposal proves the importance he attaches to concertation and twists his neck to the idea that the politician – him, in particular – would like to decide everything.
The health care reform project is very large. In addition to the limitation of supplements, it provides a new model of agreement (including a framework for the partial agreement and the abolition of premiums for unheeped doctors), a new procedure for setting the budget for health care, sanctions for fraudsters, a review of the financing of doctors’ unions … but also, in parallel, a reform of the financing of hospitals and a reform of the nomenclature (i.e. price and reimbursement provided for each medical procedure).
After the strike, Minister Vandenbroucke gives the doctors wages
“If for one or the other reason, the reform of the nomenclature or the reform of the financing of hospitals is not completed for January 1, 2028 (the scheduled date, editor’s note)the introduction of the new convention model and the limitation of fees will be deferred by one year “ And therefore postponed to 2029, the minister still promised.
