A new increase in charges to come for the French. Policyholders will experience an increase in their complementary health insurance “around 10%” in 2024, and not 8.1% as announced by the French Mutualité, according to an estimate published Tuesday January 23 by UFC-Que Choisir.

To establish its assessment, the French Mutuality has in fact reasoned “at constant age”without taking into account the fact that policyholders move each year into a higher age bracket, therefore moving to a higher rate, explains the consumer defense association.

“On average, consumers would actually experience an increase of around 10%.”

This average also masks “much more significant developments, particularly for retirees, since we have recorded increases of 25% and even 30%”, she reports. Basically, the consumer association denounces in particular management fees which vary “enormously” between complements, which range from “10%” contributions collected for the Pro BTP mutual “28%” for the April insurance broker and wholesaler.
