Overview

• The standard consultation fee for general practitioners rises from €26.50 to €30, following an agreement between Assurance Maladie and medical unions for 2024–2029.
• Specialist consultation fees also increase, with examples including gériatrie (€42 from €31.50), neurologie (€57 from €51.70), and pédopsychiatrie (€67 now, rising to €75 in July 2025).
• A new €60 pediatric expertise consultation is introduced to support early detection of developmental disorders and chronic conditions in children up to 16 years old.
• While most patients with health insurance will not feel the financial impact, 4% of the population without complementary coverage will face higher out-of-pocket costs.
• The agreement includes commitments to improve healthcare access and quality, with measures like incentivizing doctors to work in underserved areas and implementing performance monitoring starting in 2025.
