A 100-page report by four experts has been submitted to the French government, recommending that health insurance organizations introduce "prevention bonus" mechanisms. These bonuses would encourage policyholders to take part in vaccination campaigns and other preventive care. The report, commissioned by the government in January, includes 22 recommendations. It suggests that complementary health insurances—private insurance that covers additional healthcare costs—could allocate at least 2% of the contributions they collect to fund these incentives. These could include lower pricing or access to improved services. The goal is to improve vaccination rates among the working population, as current coverage for influenza, human papillomavirus (HPV), and measles vaccines is below the targets set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The report highlights the need for better data sharing between the national health insurance system and complementary insurance providers. This would help identify individuals who need vaccines or other preventive screenings. Financial incentives have been tested in other countries with mixed results. For example, Sweden offered a small cash reward of 200 crowns (about $24) for receiving the first dose of the Covid vaccine, which led to a significant rise in vaccination rates. However, a review of related studies published in the journal Nature found that guaranteed and immediate payments were more effective than promotional items or lottery-style incentives. Dominique Corona, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Autonomous Unions (UNSA), opposes the use of financial incentives. Instead, she argues for greater public education about the importance of vaccination, especially through the shared medical record system known as DMP. This digital system allows individuals to track their health history, including vaccinations. However, only 35% of the French population has accessed their health space, and just 11% have a complete vaccination record from childhood, according to the Court of Auditors. The report also proposes other measures to increase participation in preventive care, such as stopping fee increases for preventive services. It also suggests giving more responsibility to mutuals—non-profit insurance organizations—in covering healthcare costs. This would allow the national health insurance system to focus on reimbursing "essential" care, such as emergency treatments and chronic disease management. The aim is to create a more efficient and targeted healthcare system that prioritizes both prevention and essential care.
