General practitioners, pediatricians, specialists: getting treatment will cost more, find out how much you will pay from December 22

From December 22, 2024, a new medical convention will apply. Consultation fees will increase.

Going to the doctor or any other specialist will cost more. In 3 days, starting on December 22, 2024 to be precise, the 2024-2029 medical agreement comes into force.

Signed between the Health Insurance and private doctors, this agreement aims to “improve the working conditions of doctors, encourage them to set up in private practice, and ultimately, enable quality and long-term monitoring for insured persons”, summarizes the Health Insurance.

The first strong measures are the revaluations of consultations.

How much will it cost ?

The consultation increases from €26.50 to €30.

The consultation with the medical gynecologist thus increases from €33.50 to €40 (€37 on December 22, 2024, the increase is done in two stages)
