Do you have hearing problems and have you consulted an ENT specialist? Are you considering investing in a hearing aid and would you like to know the reimbursements made by Social Security? Good news for your budget and your health, since 2019 the government has implemented a new reform called 100% health. Its objective is to facilitate access to care for all French people. Thus, with the 100% health law, you will have full coverage of your dental, optical and audiological care. Since January 1 , 2021, you can benefit from a free hearing aid offer.
According to the government, 6 million people suffer from hearing problems in France. But only 35% of people with a hearing loss have equipment to improve their living conditions. A rate significantly lower than that of our European neighbours.
It is also estimated that one in five French people does not have the means to equip themselves with optics and nearly one in three French people give up dental care for lack of budget.
The objective of the 100% health reform is to provide access to quality care and full reimbursement to all French people. You will thus have the choice between different baskets of 100% health care, in order to benefit from equipment adapted to your needs. The health areas targeted by the reform are:
This system was launched gradually from 2019 to facilitate access to care, promote preventive actions, but also improve the organization of professional health sectors as a whole.
The 100% Health offer is aimed at all people with responsible complementary health insurance or CSS (solidarity complementary health insurance). Rest assured, the vast majority of health supplements have the responsible label. If this is not the case, do not hesitate to compare health mutuals. LeChatSur.fr
The 100% Health basket is not mandatory, everyone is free to choose the equipment they want.
The 100% Health reform allows all hearing-impaired people to equip themselves with hearing aids and thus meet the needs of the population. Since January 1, 2021, an offer of hearing aid equipment without charge has been made available to patients. You now have access to a wide choice of hearing aids: classic behind-the-ear, behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, with 12 adjustment channels and system allowing the amplification of external sounds.
The reform therefore allows a reduction in prices and an increase in the reimbursement of hearing aids by health insurance and mutual health insurance. Since January 2021, your refund is full if you choose a 100% Health basket.
