Hospital practitioners who are self-employed contribute two-thirds of their hospital emoluments, including certain allowances defined by decree, to the supplementary social security pension scheme instituted by decree no. 70-1277 of 23 December 1970 creating a supplementary social security pension scheme for non-tenured employees of the State and public authorities.
However, for those of them who had the status of head of department, practitioner of the hospital framework or specialist of the first grade of the hospital framework of anaesthesia-intensive care or haemobiology-transfusion before being integrated into the body of hospital practitioners governed by section 1 of chapter II of this title, the basis of contributions may not be less than the gross salary relating to the first chevron of group A of the off-scale remunerations of the civil service.
