Initial initiatives to deliver the protection of the future
Support businesses and their employees
Like the entire sector in France, CNP Assurances covered time off work for policyholders with long-term illnesses and pregnant women. What’s more, we made the decision to cover time off work when parents had to stay at home to look after their children from the very first day of school closures. We set aside €50 million to provide support throughout the pandemic to businesses and non-profits with close to 2 million employees in total.
Guarantee access to healthcare
At the height of the COVID-19 crisis, the French Red Cross decided to set up an H4D Consult Station® in its health centre in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, an area identified as a medical desert, with just 11 general practitioners covering a population of 25,000. This provided a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how the connected telemedicine booth, an innovation by the H4D startup we have supported, can ease the burden on hospitals running at full tilt and give everyone access to a doctor in real time, while limiting face-to-face contact
CNP Assurances took unprecedented measures to shield policyholders caught up in the storm unleashed by the pandemic.
Maintain affordability
The economic recession will cut into policyholders’ purchasing power and potentially hamper their access to the costliest forms of healthcare, such as eyecare. The partnership between the Lyfe digital health and well-being platform and Sénèque, an independent service putting people in contact with opticians, will make a telling contribution. It helps people find the best-value glasses and can deliver savings of 20% to 25% by comparing the estimates provided by listed opticians. This free service complements the rapid arrangement of an ophthalmologist appointment by Point Vision. It adds a new layer of protection for the more than 1,700,000 members of our group insurance partners (mutuals, employee benefit institutions and businesses).
