less reimbursed dental care

Another blow to be expected for the household budget. And this time it is health that could suffer. In the fall, the reimbursement of dental care by health insurance will increase from 70% to 60%. In a Parisian dental center, patients are worried about not being taken care of as well. Mutuals will be asked to compensate around 500 million for dental care, previously reimbursed by social security.

5% of French people do not have mutual insurance

Mechanically, the complementary already announce an increase in their contributions. An increase which will be added to the annual increase in prices. In 2023, mutuals are already posting +4.7% on average. Dentists denounce a very bad signal sent by the government. The 5% of French people who do not have mutual insurance will have to pay out of pocket for the rest, ie 40% of their dental care.
