Medical Insurance Deductibles: Annual Cap Increased to 140 Euros from October 1st
A decree published Saturday raises the annual cap on medical insurance deductibles from 100 to 140 euros, with annual adjustments planned starting in 2028 based on inflation.
A decree published Saturday in the Official Journal provides for raising the annual cap on medical insurance deductibles, which will increase from 100 to 140 euros effective October 1st, according to reporting from Le Monde.
Medical insurance deductibles are sums deducted from health insurance reimbursements for certain health services and products, such as medications, paramedical procedures, or medical transportation. The annual cap sets the maximum amount an insured person must pay in deductibles over the course of a year.
The decree also provides that starting in 2028, this cap will be adjusted annually in January based on inflation, according to the text cited by Le Monde.
This measure is part of a broader effort to reduce costs for public finances and health insurance, though the decree does not specify, according to the source, all the detailed justifications for this revision.
