Abstract: Changes in the supplementary health insurance market question the persistence of mutual insurance societies' specificities. Through the meso-level régulation school approach, the paper shows that certain specificities of mutual insurance societies persist in product policy, labor division but also in the expression of their futurity. These specificities, which are strongly emphasized in the organizations' discourse, merge in practice. It is no longer so much the actions that differentiate the actors, but the narrative in which they embed these actions.
