La Mutualité française announces a hausse des tarifs de 4.7% tirées par une “forte hausse”, des remboursements l’an dernier, mais tout de même plus d’un point “en dessous de l’inflation”, précise-t- she.
Sky-high prices are catching up with supplemental health insurance. Mutuals may have redrawed earlier in the year, before consumer associations released their own figures, but prices in the sector continue to make an exceptional leap this year.
An increase beyond 2022
An increase of 4.7%, according to a survey of 35 organizations that cover 18 million policyholders, specifies the Mutual Society in a press release. Well above the increase announced in 2022 (+3.4%), which already stood out compared to previous years (+2.6% in 2021, +2.4% in 2020).
This acceleration is justified by “strongly increasing reimbursements” for two years, with a post-confinement “care recovery” phenomenon and a “100% health” power increase that drives sales of hearing aids in particular.
An increase less than inflation
The mutual emphasizes, however, that the evolution of contributions remains “below average inflation”, which stood at 5.9% last year.
In detail, this price increase will affect workers more than retirees: in fact, the so-called “collective” contracts (of companies or professional branches) will increase an average of 5.7%, while the prices of the contracts will increase individuals. by 4.1%.
