Fine for using feuille de soins

HEALTH professionals who still give patients feuilles de soins instead of using the carte vitale system will now be taxed 50 centimes per sheet.

The measure is designed to push all doctors and pharmacists to equip themselves to use the card system that allows for faster and simpler processing of reimbursements than paper forms.

Health professionals are supposed to have been ready to accept cards for 11 years, but many still do not.
