The launch of Be_act

Health insurance plans are a major feature of a company’s social strategy. The regulatory, tax and URSSAF environment has become ever more complex through successive Finance Acts.

Although this started out as a niche sector, over the years it has evolved into a valid profession within a company’s HR Department. It is nowadays no longer enough to simply set up a pension and healthcare scheme. The HR Manager or Benefits Manager must also manage the technical aspects of their schemes for the long-term. In addition, this knowledge base also enables them to deal with the claims aspect of the contracts. Given the attractive nature and the social welfare aspect of these schemes, they do in fact have to be “controlled”.

In 2014, customers are now able to take advantage of GEREP’s actuarial expertise through Be_Act, a company which deals with actuarial advice and training in social welfare. Operating independently from the healthcare insurer, the company provides well-informed decisions on technical and financial guidance, and the management of costs and charges. Whether this is for auditing an existing scheme, providing recommendations for the drafting of technical specifications or analysing the schemes’ annual financial reports, Be_Act will be there to support you for the long-term and enable you to benefit from its know-how.
