PARIS — In 2021, the Mutual Insurance Company for French Healthcare Professionals received about 100 claims based on COVID-19. The claims were related to nosocomial infections, delays in treatment, and even diagnostic errors made during e-consultations. This was a change from the previous year, which had seen a significant decrease in medical claims.
The lull didn't last. In 2020, COVID led to the closure of doctor's offices and the cancellation of interventional procedures. Along with this lower level of activity came a 15% drop in claims. But this episode had secondary effects. The MACSF, which is the largest insurer for healthcare professionals, recently reported at a press briefing that judgments against physicians started to rise again in 2021. And COVID has not stopped disrupting practitioners' lives. The insurer has noticed that a significant number of proceedings involving its members is associated with the coronavirus epidemic. All this when so many physicians have themselves fallen victim to the disease.
"These are recent claims," said Thierry Houselstein, MD, the MACSF's medical director."They haven't been reviewed by experts yet. And so, decisions haven't been made by the Commission for Conciliation and Compensation for Medical Accidents — the CCI — or by any court. Nor, consequently, has there been any compensation.
