In France, self-employed workers are subject to a special health insurance scheme: the RSI (Régime Social des Travailleurs Indépendants). However, the benefits are identical to those of salaried employees - hence the need to take out complementary health cover. As regards protection, the self-employed also need to cover themselves against accidents and incapacity.

APRIL Assurances offers specific solutions according to needs, and in 2009 it expanded its product range to meet the specific needs of the medical profession via Médica.
