From February 1, 2026, everyday medicines will no longer be reimbursed by the Health Insurance: the French will have to pay for them out of pocket

If you are in ALD:
The drugs concerned will no longer be reimbursed at 100%. Part, or even all, will be at your expense, depending on your complementary health insurance contract.

If you are not on ALD:
No change: reimbursement at 15% on prescription, or no coverage if the medication is purchased without a prescription.

This change, although still awaiting an official decree, could be ratified in the coming weeks. It may therefore be useful to reread your mutual insurance contract, or to discuss it with your doctor to consider covered alternatives.

Because sometimes, even a small price change can have a big impact on your health budget.
