SOS Médecins fears that the price negotiations between Health Insurance and the unions of private doctors will lead “straight to the end of home visits” Many doctors prefer fixed-point consultations, which are financially two to three times more attractive. “Under these conditions, the home visit will not survive the summer,” says SOS Médecin's secretary general, Doctor Serge Smadja.
SOS Mé decins is present in around sixty French cities, and has around 1,300 member doctors.
