Overview
- Private radiologists plan to halt most non-urgent imaging on November 10, with only emergency exams maintained, according to the FNMR.
- FNMR president Jean-Philippe Masson projects participation between 70% and 85% among practitioners.
- Assurance Maladie imposed a unilateral tariff grid in mid-October after talks failed, tied to the 2025–2027 imaging protocol under the PLFSS.
- The cuts aim to save about €300 million by 2027, with the first reductions effective since November 5 and the insurer open to discussing later-year measures.
- Reported reductions include average drops near 15% on certain acts, such as a CT interpretation falling to €26 from €29, which radiologists warn will delay exams and threaten local services and screening programs.
