Official guidance announced coverage for doctor-prescribed tests in Île-de-France, Hauts-de-France and Pays de la Loire, improving access after suspected drug-facilitated abuse.
Geographical scope
Access requires a prescription under the scheme; nationwide automatic coverage was not announced.
From sampling to a follow-up appointment
The National Council of Pharmacists explains that the pathway covers blood and urine samples, with hair sampling depending on timing or clinical circumstances. A local laboratory collects the prescribed samples and sends them to a specialist laboratory. Results go to the prescribing professional, who communicates them to the patient during a dedicated appointment.
