The “MonSoutienPsy” system allows you to benefit from reimbursement for 12 sessions with a psychologist.
The “MonSoutienPsy” system allows everyone from 3 years old to benefit from reimbursed sessions with the psychiatrist. Children, adolescents and adults can therefore benefit from it, regardless of the reason for consultation: anxiety, depressive disorders, eating behavior, alcohol, tobacco or cannabis consumption problems, etc. Created in 2022, the system has evolved in June 2024. From now on, the number of sessions reimbursed (60% by Health Insurance and 40% by complementary health insurance (mutual)) increases from 8 to 12 per calendar year and per person. Thus, the insured can benefit from more sustained support adapted to their situation.
Two possibilities to benefit from it. Either the person consults their doctor or midwife to request psychological help and at the end of the interview, the practitioner gives the patient a covering letter to give to a partner psychologist. This document is intended to transmit to the psychologist the elements of the context, the clinical elements, the reasons for the referral, etc. Either the person can directly make an appointment with an approved psychologist listed in the device directory. This directory is regularly updated with new psychologists.
Once the psychologist has been found, the patient carries out a first session which consists of an assessment interview to determine, based on their psychological state, the number of sessions necessary. In total, up to 11 sessions can be reimbursed by Health Insurance, in addition to this first assessment session. During the first session (assessment interview), remember to bring your paper Vitale card certificate indicating your rights (particularly if you benefit from an exemption from advance fees) or the accompanying letter from your doctor (or midwife) if it was he or she who referred you to the device.
If the chosen psychologist does not suit you/no longer, you can change your partner psychologist along the way. The new psychologist will be able to carry out the remaining follow-up sessions in your course. At the end of the route:
→ In the event of significant improvement or disappearance of the disorders, the treatment ends.
→ If serious or emergency criteria or suicidal risk appear, it is recommended that you contact your attending physician so that he or she can refer you without delay to a psychiatrist or specialized structures.
To encourage psychologists to join this system, the price of this psychological consultation is now 50 euros (instead of 30 euros at the start of the system). This price increase has no financial consequences for patients because they will not have any additional out-of-pocket costs.
At the same time, students benefit from their own psychology support system: “Student psych health” which allows them to benefit from 12 free psych sessions. It helps you get through this period of life, which is often a source of stress and anxiety.
