From 2019, the price of the consultation will go from 23 to 25 €, for example. The perineum rehabilitation session will also increase from € 19.60 to € 21. Midwives will also have “ the possibility of rating the contraception and prevention consultation for the young girl at 46 € », Details Health Insurance in a press release.

A new price list
Some prices will even be doubled. It will now be necessary to pay 40 € instead of 21 for an emergency intervention on Sundays and public holidays and € 80 instead of € 40 for a night delivery. This new fee schedule will allow 5,400 liberal midwives to earn 22.1 million euros. The Health Insurance also wanted to financially encourage those who would choose to settle in areas ” under-staffed “.
Financial aid ” up to € 28,000, or even € 38,000 for a first installation Can thus be released to overcome the problem of medical deserts. On the other hand, in the so-called “ over-equipped », A liberal midwife will not be able to settle down unless a place becomes available. ” The ONSSF fought to the end to achieve the best for the profession », Reacted the union on its Facebook page.
