Debates advance on the cost of mental health

At the end of two weeks of negotiations, the reimbursement of psychotherapies is still far from being recorded. If the national health fund believes it has reached an agreement, representatives of the profession deny and even threaten to boycott the next meeting.

According to him, a support of the sessions would thus be considered initially for the patients “between 18 and 60 years”. The president of the CNS specifies that the measure “is not frozen in time”, this age category could therefore very well be reduced or widened in the future. He also hinted that the two sides had agreed on a “second stage”, without saying more.

This measure represents a step forward in the negotiations between the two parties. Initiated since mid-March following a Grand-Ducal regulation, the debates escalated on April 1 after the publication of a press release from the CNS. The latter welcomed the turn of the discussions and their culmination with the establishment of a two-year “experimental program”. Information immediately denied by Delphine Prüm, president of Fapsylux.

Published in February, a Grand-Ducal regulation should bring the National Health Fund (CNS) and professionals to revive the issue of funding psychotherapy sessions. For Fapsylux, federation of the sector, this support is still far from being recorded.
