GIEPS-approved optician

The French health insurance system covers optical care and equipment only to a derisory extent. That's why it's so important to choose the right supplementary health insurance providers. Subscribing to a supplementary health insurance provider such as GIEPS (Groupement d'Intérêt Économique de Prévoyance Sociale) means you'll have less out-of-pocket expenses, or even €0 out-of-pocket expenses for each replacement or renewal of frames, lenses or contact lenses. As a GIEPS-approved optician, Mymonture is the service provider you need to pay nothing when you buy glasses or contact lenses online or in-store.

Introducing GIEPS supplementary health insurance providers

Affiliated with the AXA Group, GIEPS was founded in 1974. Its non-profit status is governed by the French law of 1901. Thanks to its close links with AXA insurance, the association is able to offer group supplementary health insurance providers, so that members can obtain better cover according to their financial level and needs. Its role is also to manage ASAF and AFPS health and provident insurance contracts for all types of individuals: families, couples, senior citizens, self-employed workers, etc. To meet members' expectations, GIEPS anticipates their needs and adopts comprehensive solutions to protect them at every stage of life.

GIEPS' supplementary health insurance providers are particularly attractive for senior citizens and self-employed workers. The special offer for the over-55s, for example, provides far greater reimbursement than French national health insurance for all medical costs, including optical expenses. TNS members benefit from certain advantages, such as a 10% discount for couples, free membership for the 3rd child or more, and a birth bonus for young TNS women. And they all benefit from an extensive national third-party payment network.

GIEPS supplementary health insurance providers' services with Mymonture

If you are a member of the supplementary health insurance providers GIEPS, Mymonture offers you the following services.

Third-party payment platform or administration

Thanks to third-party payment, members do not need to pay for optical care in advance. They are immediately covered, with no waiting period. Reimbursement is made within 48 hours. If your contract with GIEPS supplementary health insurance providers includes teletransmission, you won't have to submit a claim for reimbursement. With teletransmission, your compulsory health insurance scheme declares your healthcare costs directly to the supplementary health insurance providers. All you need to do is present the necessary documents (ophthalmologist's prescription, supplementary health insurance providers' card) to start the reimbursement process. However, the online service is not yet available.

With the GIEPS third-party payment network, this process becomes much simpler. French online optician Mymonture offers you online third-party payment, a service with which you no longer need to go anywhere. Everything is done online, from buying your new pair of glasses to sending in the supporting documents for your claim. Even your signature is done online.

100% Santé' scheme (full cover)

If you are a GIEPS policyholder, you can benefit from 0€ rest à charge with Mymonture. To do so, you need to choose your equipment (frames and lenses) from the '100% Santé' scheme (full cover). The basket includes class A frames from leading brands and lenses from France. While the 100% Santé reform law requires a minimum of 17 different frame models in 2 different colors for adults and 10 models in 2 different colors for children, Mymonture offers you a choice of over 120 frames in a wide range of colors and shapes.

Different formulas

Because eye health is paramount, Mymonture doesn't hesitate to offer attractive packages:

• A number of guarantees that are more attractive than those offered by a traditional optician: we start with the guarantee of identical prices both online and in store. It's the only online optician to offer such a guarantee. What's more, your glasses may be broken or stolen within a year or two of purchasing your optical equipment. In this case, Mymonture offers its 1-year Premium Breakage Warranty free of charge to all its customers, albeit with a deductible of 40% of the value of the equipment including VAT. As for the 2-year Serenity warranty, it's optional, but useful for covering you against a second purchase in the event of loss or breakage. The "satisfied or your money back" guarantee is extended to 30 days at Mymonture. Finally, you have the 6-month Visual Adaptation guarantee, with which you can have your progressive lenses adapted free of charge at the optician's for 6 months following their acquisition.
• Payment in 3x free of charge by credit card: This payment option is only available by credit card, and allows you to pay for your purchase in 3 instalments, each within 30 days. Eligibility conditions are detailed on the site.
• Try on frames without moving: Mymonture has developed a 3D fitting service based on augmented reality technology. All you need to do is log on to your customer area and equip yourself with a webcam. If you connect from your smartphone, fitting becomes even simpler. Alternatively, on request, you can try on up to 3 frames in 7 days, free of charge.
• Basic offer at bargain prices : The basic offer consists of a complete set of high-quality lenses (frame + 2 lenses) at a reduced price. For single vision lenses, this offer starts at €59, while for progressive lenses it starts at €109.
