ABSTRACT
Respiratory physicians must be aware of the administrative procedures for the compensation of occupational diseases in order to advise their patients. These procedures for declaration, recognition and compensation are dependent on the patient's social insurance. However, the general principles of this insurance coverage are similar. They are based on a "mixed" system 1) a presumed cause, when the disease appears on a government list published in the national record (Journal Officiel), and if all administrative and exposure criteria described in that list are met, 2) a case-by-case opinion, with certain limitations, if the presumed cause does not apply. However, these procedures do not apply to self employed workers who do not benefit from occupational disease social insurance. Furthermore, patients with asbestos-related diseases receive additional compensation, the criteria for which are reviewed here compensation funds and anticipated retirement.
