In a challenging economic context, the PAMI Medication Program has confirmed the continuity of 100% coverage for special treatments and access to the social subsidy for retirees and pensioners who cannot afford the cost of their medications. To receive free medications, applicants must meet certain economic and asset requirements. Income: Less than 1.5 minimum retirement benefits. Assets: Not to own more than one real estate property, not to own aircraft or luxury boats. Vehicles: Not to own a car less than 10 years old (except households with a Disability Certificate). Assets: Not to be the holder of corporate assets that demonstrate full economic capacity. Key point: If an affiliate does not meet the income requirements but the cost of medications exceeds 15% of their benefits, they can request 100% coverage through an exceptional channel. Step-by-step guide for online processing: go to the pami.org.ar website, go to the 'Web Procedures' section, select 'Free medications for social subsidy', click 'Start web procedure', choose 'Request the service', enter the affiliate number and ID, indicate who is processing the request, fill in the contact form, confirm asset requirements, answer questions about corporate assets or having a dependent with a disability, upload a photo of a paper prescription if available. The procedure can be carried out entirely digitally, without the need to go to an agency. According to Noticias Argentinas agency, the system seeks to guarantee sustainability through 'new therapeutic limits' based on the rational use of medicines recommended by the WHO.
