The Institut National d'Assurance Maladie (INAM) is informing its beneficiaries of Universal Health Insurance (AMU) of major changes in the management of this insurance, in accordance with Decree N° 2023-97/PR on the management of AMU. This information was made public in a press release dated 11 April 2024.

Under the terms of the decree, INAM will cover the following people: civil servants and employees of the State, local authorities, public establishments and legal entities governed by public law, members of public institutions for the duration of their term of office, holders of civil and military pensions, and vulnerable individuals and households under the medical insurance scheme.

According to the press release, from¹ April 2024, those insured by the AMU who do not fall into the above categories will be covered by the Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale (CNSS). The aim of this transition is to ensure efficient management of the AMU by the two managing bodies, INAM and CNSS.

Former INAM policyholders who have transferred to the CNSS are no longer authorised to use INAM cards and carnets for medical treatment. They must return these tools to their employers or to INAM.Any continued use of INAM tools will be considered as fraud and will be punished in accordance with the law.
