With 27.5 million accounts covered in 2017 (23.5 million in 2016), Ameli.fr, the Health Insurance service platform, is the leading public health website.
Some of the most common procedures are now carried out mainly by electronic means: issuing a certificate of entitlement (61%) or applying for a European Health Insurance Card (75%).
At the beginning of 2018, the health insurance company counted more than 22 million contacts per month on Ameli.fr: 80% of procedures are now done online.
Since its launch 5 years ago, the ameli app has passed the 10 million downloads mark.
The new version of the ameli app, available since April 4, allows you to report an accident caused by a third party. The section "Mes démarches" ("My procedures") offers a redirection to a simulator allowing everyone to evaluate their rights to 27 social aids, including the complementary universal health coverage (CMU-C) or the aid for the payment of a complementary health (ACS).
Opening up of health insurance programming interfaces
From March 22 to 25, the Hacking Health Camp, one of the largest European health hackathons, was held in Strasbourg. On this occasion, the French National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam) unveiled its programming interfaces (APIs), which are now open to two use cases: pre-registering for hospital treatment and subscribing to complementary health insurance.Access via France Connect
It is now possible to create an account or to connect to the Ameli.fr website with FranceConnect identifiers. Conversely, the 27.5 million insured people who have an Ameli account will be able to access all other FranceConnect-compatible sites via France Connect. The inclusion of health insurance in the France Connect ecosystem will ease the collection of administrative data: according to the principle of "Tell us once", a policyholder will be able to consent to a third party (a mutual insurance company, for example) to collect the administrative data held by the Health Insurance. "Today, to subscribe to a mutual insurance company, you have to attach a certificate of social rights that you have to download from the Ameli.fr website and attach electronically or by post. Via France Connect, the health insurance will allow the insured to authorize mutual insurance companies to directly retrieve the insured's certificates of entitlement with one click.DMP rollout in October 2018
Since the law on the modernization of our healthcare system of January 26, 2016, the Assurance Maladie has been in charge of deploying the shared medical record (DMP). This will make it possible to gather patient health information in a single file. As of next fall, the DMP will be generalized to all departments and all insured persons.Patients will be able to open their file themselves, either directly online with their Vitale card, or by visiting their primary health insurance fund. Pharmacists will also be able to open DMPs (and will receive 1 euro per file opened). Finally, nurses could be entitled to do this for people who are losing their autonomy. As soon as a file is opened, it will automatically be populated with two years' worth of healthcare reimbursements (doctors consulted, medicines purchased, tests carried out, etc.). The law provides that health establishments transfer hospitalization reports to the file.
The French health insurance system and Bpifrance join forces to identify and develop the most promising start-ups
Bpifrance launched the €50 million Patient Autonomous fund at the end of 2017 to make seed-stage investments in connected health startups. As part of the partnership between the Patient Autonome fund and the CNAM (Caisse nationale d'assurance-maladie), the latter will "provide its expertise in terms of patient needs and healthcare professionals' practices, which will enable a more detailed assessment of the potential of the innovations developed, taking into account French and European regulatory constraints and their ongoing changes. This partnership will enable the Patient Autonomy fund to maximize its investment opportunities while selecting innovations with high medical value and financial sustainability.Health Insurance will conduct four major projects over the next five years: the generalization of the shared medical record, the use of telemedicine in everyday life, the adoption of e-prescription aimed at replacing paper prescriptions by 2022, and the launch of an e-vital card on smartphones, the testing of which will begin in 2018.
