The City of Castres is committed to the health of its residents by launching a municipal health mutual. This initiative aims to facilitate access to quality care at negotiated rates, often more advantageous than a standard individual contract.

Facing rising healthcare expenses and purchasing power challenges, the municipality of Castres provides a concrete solution to support residents' budgets while improving their access to care. The goal is to enable everyone to easily access quality healthcare without financial barriers.
This plan is available to all residents of Castres, regardless of age or situation: retirees, students, self-employed individuals, shopkeepers, employees without mandatory complementary insurance, etc. It offers 5 coverage levels including routine care, hospitalization, optical, dental, and hearing.
Concrete benefits include negotiated contributions, easier access to quality care, reimbursement for sports licenses up to €40 per year per beneficiary to encourage physical activity, free access to a medical teleconsultation service, a referral offer of up to €300, and personalized support to choose the most suitable plan.
To subscribe, advisors from Mutuelle Just will present the guarantees and provide a personalized quote. Subscriptions can be made by appointment, during office hours, by phone at 0 809 546 000 (free service + call price), or directly on the website www.just.fr.
Public meetings are scheduled to present the plan, its guarantees, rates, and answer residents' questions: on Wednesday, October 7th at 6 PM at the Parc des Expositions (room 2), on Wednesday, October 14th at 6 PM at the Salle Louisa Paulin, and on Thursday, October 15th at 6 PM at the Salle Jeanne Cabrol (Maison des Associations).
Mutuelle Just, with its expertise in complementary health insurance since 1927, continues its mission to defend access to care for all. As a committed player in the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS), it was a pioneer in developing communal mutual insurance solutions in partnership with local authorities, and today over 1,250 municipalities trust them to help their residents access fairer and more accessible complementary health insurance.
