We were already familiar with administrative control with the visit of an investigating officer to the home of the patient on sick leave to verify that he is at home outside authorized discharge hours. We also knew about the medical check-up with a health insurance medical officer, who examines the insured and judges the merits of the work stoppage. We will now have to get used to remote control of sick leave.
With this new weapon in the range of tools to combat abuse, the insured will no longer need to travel since the check will take place… by videoconference. With a remote exchange between the medical advisor of the National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam) and the patient. This mainly concerns insured persons on sick leave, but also those victims of a work accident, an occupational illness or certain disability claims.
