The French National Union of Health Insurance Funds (Union nationale des caisses d’assurance maladie, Uncam) has updated the lump‑sum reference tariffs that define what mandatory insurance will pay within generic groups, adjusting both levels and coverage. The 7 January 2026 decision modifies the amounts of these tariffs for a set of existing groups, with changes listed in annex and due to apply from 15 January, signalling the usual early‑year re‑alignment with current market prices.[legifrance.gouv]
This move is quickly superseded in two steps. A 12 January decision, published separately, repeals the 7 January text, while the 23 January 2026 decision shifts the implementation of a broader December 2025 tariff overhaul to 1 March 2026 and updates the underlying list of affected groups. The result is to avoid a short-lived January configuration and instead converge multiple waves of tariff changes on a single spring start date.legifrance+1
Finally, the 30 January 2026 decision creates additional reference tariffs for further generic groups, also starting on 1 March 2026. Taken together, the three January texts consolidate a more extensive refresh of reference ceilings onto one cut‑off point, giving holders of older brands and late generic entrants a clear timetable for list‑price revisions or portfolio pruning.[legifrance.gouv]
