Expérimentations de remboursement des actes de télémédecine en plaies et cicatrisation en France*

The experimentation of article 36 of the French law relating to the financing of the Social Security system for 2014 (LFSS 2014), aims to define the reimbursement models which could be put in place in the context of telemedicine. Initially planned for nine regions, this experimentation has been extended by the LFSS 2017 to the whole of France. The professionals involved in the telemedicine procedures of the Cicat-LR network, which falls within the scope of the Domoplaies project, started the experimentation in accordance with the specifications of the experiments relating to the use of telemedicine in the treatment of chronic and complex wounds authorised by the LFSS 2014 and, since February 2017, in accordance with the procedures required by the Etapes programme. This experimentation aims to set out the regulatory measures and the common classification of telemedicine procedures to determine the suitable price model and to analyse its impact on the health care system. It should ensure the continuation of the Domoplaies project and its extension to other regions, as well as the integration of telemedicine into the health care pathway of patients with wounds.
