Mutual Harmony continues to grow in Bordeaux

Harmonie Mutuelle has recently become the first mutual of France. It is now keen to support social initiatives and the economy of the south-west region. The mutual delivers its 2017 balance sheet with figures that illustrate the good health of the group. Now working in the Vyv group, Harmonie Mutuelle delivers its objectives for the years to come.

The mutual strengthens itself by evolving under a larger grouping

In just 5 years of existence, Harmonie Mutuelle has become the first health insurance company in France. Harmonie Mutuelle has 3 main objectives. Strengthen its offer by offering complementary services beyond health, continue to support the digitization efforts of companies, and develop teleworking opportunities. 58,000 companies are now members. In all, more than 4.3 million people are covered by the Albigensian mutual insurance company. With this scale, Harmonie Mutuelle plays to its size to be able to negotiate with any other public or private actor.

Harmonie Mutuelle, the power of the collective on a daily basis

The good figures of the mutual allow it to continue its development with confidence. Thus, in 2017, Harmonie Mutuelle announced the creation of the Vyv group. A group of 14 existing mutuals that alone protects 10 million people. Vyv aims to set up a non-profit health and social protection hub in France. In order to carry out health projects that are both global but also closer to regional specificities. Vyv’s other objective is to create new support, prevention, retirement and savings schemes for members.

Harmonie Mutuelle wants to be a committed player, as close as possible to its members

The mutual multiplies its commitments in the south-west region, and wants to become a key player in non-profit and non-profit commitments. About 280 local associations are supported, 30 of which are in favour of disability. Last year 1800 people participated in prevention actions on different themes such as food, sport or help for the elderly.

These actions have increased demand for social actions by 25%. Proof that these commitments meet the needs of members. Harmonie Mutuelle also offers several support programs around health prevention. In 2017, 20 actions in companies and 34 in agencies, fairs and workshops were conducted. It is therefore about 71,000 employees trained in risk prevention and sensitized to eating disorders or joint problems.

The digital evolution of health democratizes its access

Support for new information and communication technologies aims to adapt mutual services to the new habits and communication channels used by Mutual Harmony members.

We provide our members with many web tools to simplify the management of their contract on a daily basis and gain in responsiveness, or allow them to improve their health thanks to Betterise, a personalized prevention application. We also deploy innovative services in the fields: silver economy, teleconsultations, telemedicine, autonomy of people.

Stéphane Kergourlay, Director of Southwest Region Mutual Harmony

In 2010, the number of mobile health applications was about 6000, in 2013 they were 100,000. E-health (using new technologies to support care), and m-health (use of mobile communications for health), are expanding rapidly. Mutual Harmony therefore supports these future practices that democratize access to health. This is why the mutual has created Harmonie Live to provide remote assistance to its members. It has also formalized an innovation partnership with Orange, for the realization of an e-health platform with health solutions and support for people with chronic diseases.
