Alarming report: 6 out of 10 Argentines fail to pay their current prepaid medical plan
According to the platform that compares prepaid in Argentina, Elegimejor.com.ar, “56% of Argentines look for another prepaid medical plan because the price of the monthly fee of their current plan is too expensive for their economic situation. “.
This number is made up of those who can no longer pay the current fee and for this reason are looking for cheaper alternatives (41%) and the remaining 15% who can still afford the current fee, although they consider that “it is getting complicated and they prefer to see other options”.
In addition, three out of ten prepaid affiliates also use the public hospital, given the lack of specialists in the booklet and the delays of more than two months to give an appointment. In many specialties, doctors began to collect co-payments, some authorized by prepaid and others directly through agreements with patients, who prefer to pay a little more, but still have a turn to attend.
