Amellis Mutuelles

What Amellis Mutuelles does

Amellis Mutuelles is a French mutual insurance company (mutuelle) founded in 1907, headquartered in Saint-Claude in the Jura department, and regulated under the Code de la Mutualité (Livre II) under SIREN 775 597 768. The company protected 51,613 individuals as of December 31, 2024 and operates three physical agencies (Saint-Claude, Champagnole, Lons-le-Saunier) within a national distribution footprint covering virtually all French regions. As a non-profit mutual, Amellis has no external shareholders and reinvests 100% of surpluses for member benefit, offering complementary health insurance (Complémentaire Santé) as its core product to individuals, self-employed professionals (TNS), and corporate clients, alongside add-on products including dependency insurance, prepaid funeral insurance (Garantie Obsèques), hospitalization indemnity (Garantie Hospitalière), and top-up plans (Surcomplémentaire). Differentiated offerings include labeled plans for territorial government employees and specialized coverage for cross-border workers (frontaliers) in Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

The company's technical stack centers on third-party platforms: a Kayros-powered online quote and subscription platform, a member portal (gestion.amellis-services.fr) and dedicated iOS/Android mobile applications (Amellis-Services, developed by Ciblemut), teleconsultation integrated via Médaviz, and a national provider network through Kalixia covering 7,100+ optical, 5,600 audio, 6,500 dental, and 500 osteopathy centers with negotiated rates and systematic third-party payment. Through its SSAM (Services de Soins et d'Accompagnement Mutualistes) subsidiary Amellis Mutuelles RSS, the company vertically integrates care delivery via a Centre de Santé Pluridisciplinaire (cardiologists, pulmonologists, general practitioners in three locations), three Ecouter-Voir optical and audio centers, a Téléalarme personal emergency service for seniors, and Amellis Assistance (home medical emergencies, hospitalization support, maternity, oncology, and teleassistance). Enterprise clients additionally access Concilio health diagnostics and Amellis Formation workplace training.

The revenue model is built on recurring monthly and annual insurance premiums across segmented customer cohorts, with no medical questionnaire required for enrollment and lifelong coverage guarantees. Distribution is hybrid: physical agencies, an inside sales phone line (0800 298 756), online self-service via Kayros, broker/intermediary channels for corporate contracts, and embedded distribution through partner platforms (Médaviz, Kalixia). Marketing combines content (blog, webinars on lung cancer, sleep, kidney health, neurodegenerative diseases), community events via Priorité Santé Mutualiste (3935 hotline, nearly 3,000 annual health events), SEO/organic search, and email lead capture. Corporate contracts are bespoke (72-hour CCN-compliant study turnaround), and cross-selling is pursued via add-on products and SSAM service utilization.
