What PROXIMED does

PROXIMED is a French home healthcare services provider (Prestataire de Santé à Domicile, PSAD) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Arcachon, operating a franchise network of at least 16 locally managed agencies spanning departments including Var, Somme, Nord, Loire-Atlantique, Gironde, Alpes-Maritimes, Aude, and Île-de-France Ouest, among others. The group delivers prescribed medical equipment (adjustable beds, manual and electric wheelchairs, walkers, air mattresses, patient lifts, respiratory devices, perfusion pumps, wound dressings, incontinence and nutrition products) to patient homes, alongside home evaluation, installation, patient and caregiver training, and ongoing clinical follow-up. Its core platform layers care coordination on top of equipment provision — coordinating hospital discharge, liberal nurses, physiotherapists, and home help services through an infirmier(e) coordinateur(trice) model in each agency. Differentiated clinical assets include the proprietary COCC (Centre d'Observation et de Conseil en Cicatrisation) wound observation center and a teleassistance partnership with Association Présence Verte.

The business model operates as a hybrid of hardware sale/rental (regulated French healthcare reimbursement) and professional services revenue, with approximately 90% of products and services covered by Assurance Maladie and supplementary insurers, and a subscription/recurring revenue layer from teleassistance. Go-to-market is relationship-driven and geographically siloed: each agency is a field sales unit with exclusive territorial rights, generating referrals from hospital discharge teams, liberal health professionals, and GPs. The headquarters (PROXIMED Services) is ISO9001-2015 certified with Datadock referencing, and the majority of agencies are now incorporated into the certified group with QUALIPSAD labels — positioning the network ahead of the incoming mandatory HAS regulatory framework. The group is led by co-founders Jean-Christophe Anger (Pharmacist-President) and Jean-Paul Caussanel (Director General), and is currently executing a documented two-to-three year regeneration including active recruitment, integration of new structures, and a formal succession playbook now demonstrated at two agencies (Antibes 2023, Loire-Atlantique 2024). Customer base spans acute and chronic patients, seniors, persons with disabilities, and caregivers — a population structurally expanding as 21% of the French population is now over 65 and 68% of patients prefer home treatment.

Revenue model

1. Medical device provision and rental: Revenue is generated through the provision and rental of medical equipment to patients at home. Equipment includes adjustable beds, wheelchairs (manual and electric), walkers, air mattresses, patient lifts, respiratory devices, perfusion pumps, wound dressings, and incontinence products. Reimbursement is primarily covered by the French national health insurance (Assurance Maladie) and supplementary health insurers, with 90% of products and services fully covered.
2. Care coordination and technical services: Coordination of care at home involving multiple healthcare actors (nurses, physiotherapists, home helps), patient education, home evaluation, installation and training on medical devices, and ongoing clinical follow-up. These services constitute the technical and administrative component of home health provider (PSAD) activity.
3. Teleassistance partnership services: Through partnership with Présence Verte association, PROXIMED provides teleassistance services to beneficiaries. A simple press on a liaison bracelet alerts a 24/7 call center, which then mobilizes a solidarity network or emergency services as needed. Revenue is generated through service fees associated with teleassistance subscriptions.
