According to the latest public health report in France, Parkinson's disease (PD) affects around 160,000 patients~The coordination of the care pathway for patients with Parkinson disease has been improved since the implementation on the national territory of 7 interregional coordination centers and 25 regional expert centers in 2012.~Health insurance reimburses 100% of direct medical and non-medical care as soon as patients are registered in Long-Term Condition n°16. However, we currently have little information about care that is not recognized for financial coverage by health insurance.~It is therefore essential to estimate the overall consumption of medical and non-medical resources by patients with PD in order to characterize the share of medical and non-medical care reimbursed by health insurance, the share of medical and non-medical care not reimbursed. by health insurance, as well as the share of formal and informal care in order to identify potential economic barriers to an optimal care path for patients with PD. It is also necessary to have information on the socio-economic characteristics and the place of residence of the resident in order to estimate the impact of these determinants on an optimal course of care.
