Since the start of the health crisis, requests for work stoppages have exploded. An increase which is explained by the widening of the conditions of issue. In fifteen days, more than a million were prescribed but not because of illness, according to the National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam). The requests come from parents who have to look after their children because of the closure of schools, from people in fragile health who must isolate themselves, from pregnant women reaching the third trimester of pregnancy.
To facilitate the processing of requests, the Health Insurance will open an email address dedicated to the management of paper work stoppages which will allow the transmission of all supporting documents, learned Capital. The service must be available nationwide by the end of the week. Policyholders will be informed directly by their fund. Attention, keep the originals well: the Health Insurance may require their presentation in the event of an inspection.
