What Centre D'Imagerie Medicale De L'ouest Parisien does

CIMOP (Centre d'Imagerie Médicale de l'Ouest Parisien) is a privately held multi-site medical imaging group operating four centers across the western Paris metropolitan area: Clinique Bizet in Paris 16, two sites embedded within Centre Hospitalier des Quatre Villes (Saint-Cloud and Sèvres) and Clinique du Val d'Or, and a new center at Hôpital Stell in Rueil-Malmaison opened in June 2023. The group delivers comprehensive diagnostic and interventional radiology across the full imaging stack — radiography, mammography, ultrasound, CT (Siemens scanners), MRI (GE scanners), bone densitometry, cone beam dental imaging, and a range of image-guided interventional procedures including biopsies, infiltrations, and embolizations. A specialty cardiac imaging franchise at Clinique Bizet performs more than 2,500 coronary CT angiographies annually with radiologists holding a scientific publication record in cardiac imaging.

Operationally, CIMOP employs approximately 30 radiographers (MERM) across the four sites, is actively recruiting additional staff per site, and runs extended hours (7:30–20:00 Monday–Friday plus Saturday hours at three sites). Patient access is anchored on Doctolib online booking and the Xplore Radiology Information System patient portal at ris.cimop.fr, which supports pre-registration, online results and image access, digital insurance certificate download, and online payment. Examination durations of 5–25 minutes and same-day report availability support high patient throughput.

CIMOP operates as a Sector 2 (Conventionné Secteur 2) private practice, generating revenue on a fee-for-service basis from imaging examinations reimbursed under the French Sécurité sociale framework, with practitioner fee supplements (dépassements d'honoraires), tiers payant for eligible patients, and mutuelle top-ups covering the patient co-pay. Pricing varies by modality and anatomical zone: radiography approximately €45–70 per zone, ultrasound €75–95, mammography €95–130, CT scanner €75–160, and MRI €115–140 on weekdays (rising to €145–155 on Saturdays). The business does not engage in paid advertising due to French medical deontology rules, relying instead on its Doctolib presence, website (cimop.fr), and clinical educational content for patient acquisition. No external investors, parent company, or funding events are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Medical Imaging Services (Fee-for-Service): CIMOP generates revenue through fee-for-service medical imaging examinations reimbursed by the French national health insurance system (Sécurité sociale). As a Sector 2 (conventionné) provider, CIMOP charges both the social security tariff (base de remboursement) and practitioner fee supplements (dépassements d'honoraires). Third-party payment (tiers payant) is practiced for eligible patients. Additional revenue comes from private mutual insurance (mutuelle) reimbursements covering patient co-payments.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Doctolib: Dominant French online medical appointment platform integrated across all CIMOP sites. Not a competitor but a critical infrastructure partner whose continued market dominance is a key enabling assumption for CIMOP's patient acquisition model.

Broad incumbents

• Synlab France: European diagnostics leader with substantial French footprint in medical laboratories and imaging-adjacent diagnostics. Comparable as a scaled private diagnostics platform competing for physician referrals in France.
• Elsan: Leading French private hospital group with embedded imaging and radiology services across more than 120 facilities. Comparable as a competitor for outpatient imaging referrals and hospital-partner imaging contracts in the Paris region.
• Almaviva Santé: Mid-sized French private hospital group with imaging and ambulatory services in Paris and southern France. Comparable as a regional multi-site diagnostic imaging competitor, though with a less Paris-centric footprint than CIMOP.
• Inovie (Cerba / NorDia): Major French private diagnostics platform spanning medical labs and specialty diagnostics. Comparable as an outpatient diagnostic services competitor in France with cross-selling into physician referral channels.
• Ramsay Santé: One of France's largest private hospital and outpatient care groups, with imaging centers operating alongside its hospital network. Comparable as a multi-site French diagnostic imaging provider, but at significantly larger scale and broader service scope than CIMOP.
• Vivalto Santé: French private hospital and ambulatory care operator with radiology offerings at multiple sites. Comparable as a competing imaging provider that combines hospital partnerships with outpatient imaging services in France.

Direct peers

• Centre d'Imagerie Médicale de la Porte de Saint-Cloud (and similar Paris radiology groups): Independent multi-site radiology practices operating in the Paris region with comparable modality mix (MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray) and Doctolib-based booking. Direct competitors for patient referrals within the Île-de-France catchment.
