Private clinics and sanatoriums Upper Valley, Middle Valley and Bariloche They will begin to charge a co-payment to members of prepaid and various union social services starting next week.
The amounts will arise from the difference between the increases defined by these companies and entities for the fees of their associates and the values that those same financiers decided to recognize in December to health institutions.
“The increases they applied were 40 to 50 percent. But our sector is only recognized by 9 percent. This mismatch is what makes it impossible to maintain care with the parameters that we have been managing,” said the president of the Federation of Private Clinics and Sanatoriums of Río Negro, Héctor Tasat.
The measure involves private centers in almost the entire province, except those that operate in Viedma, which are not part of Feclir. However, these institutions informed BLACK RIVER that next week they will carry out a detailed analysis of the situation, to evaluate what path they follow in the link with social works.
What will happen to PAMI and Ipross
Meanwhile, from Feclir they reported that For the moment, additional payments will not be required from Ipross and PAMI affiliates.
The federation authorities are planning a meeting next week with the new head of the provincial State’s social work, Marcela Ávila, with the aim of analyzing the continuity of the relationship.
And with respect to PAMI, it was reported that payments are being fulfilled normally, beyond a specific delay registered this month.
In this way, co-payments will be concentrated in prepaid medicine companies and social works dependent on unions.
From Feclir they assure that during the last weeks they tried to move forward with the negotiations to recognize the significant increases that there were in medicines and supplies used by the care centers, but the amounts admitted have no relation to that scenario.
That’s why, from next monday Patients who are under these coverage regimes must pay extra amounts, to later manage the corresponding reimbursements.
