Medaviz Partners With French Mutual Insurer Ociane

French telemedicine provider Medaviz announced its partnership with mutual health insurer Ociane .

According to the Jalma / FIFG Access to Care Observatory (March 2017), 70% of French people have already given up medical care, particularly because of the long wait times. Enter Medaviz (think: Babylon Health) – a telemed platform to contact physicians in less than 3 minutes, 24/7.

For the 600,000 health members of Ociane (part of Matmut) (including the Group’s 6,200 employees), access to the Medaviz teleconsultation platform means the possibility of contacting one of the 85 affiliated physicians for free by wired telephone, via the mobile application or from a video conferencing computer.

“For Ociane Groupe Matmut, this partnership with Medaviz is part of our commitment to innovate to simplify life and better support the health of our policyholders on a daily basis. Digital offers us new opportunities to offer the best possible support to our members: medical teleconsultation, online health coaching, educational app to train in first aid, etc” – Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Matmut Group and Chief Executive Officer of Ociane Groupe Matmut, Stéphane Hasselot.
