L'assurance maladie (health insurance)

The Assurance Maladie puts its skills to work with numerous projects to secure the health of over million insured people. For over 70 years, the Assurance Maladie has played a major role in national solidarity.

The key to the health system’s sustainability is a joint responsability and needs srong involvement from each player.

In this health system, the Assurance Maladie has three tasks at hand :

• ensure universal access to rights and allow access to healthcare,
• preserve everyone’s personal health with ssupport,
• better the system’s efficiency.

The Assurance Maladie wants to offer the best quality of service with all of these tasks. In order to do this, it relies on a proximity network and the commitment of 85 000 contributors that operate day by day, at a departmental, regional or national scale.

The “Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie de l’Essonne” cares for over one million Essonne residents. It carries out its public service tasks withpeople who are insured, health professionnals and employers of the department.  Close to 1100 officers deploy their expertise to help the public, and live up to the strong values of the Assurance Maladie: universality, solidarity, responsability and innovation.
