The Ministry of Health, together with the Superintendence of Health Services, has announced changes in the beneficiaries' contribution system to health entities in Argentina. Through Resolution 1/2025, it has been determined that beneficiary contributions will go directly to the chosen Prepaid Medicine Companies, eliminating the previously existing intermediary. This measure aims to end practices that generated a multimillion-dollar business through intermediation.
In the process of restructuring the system, it is established that new affiliates choosing a Prepaid Medicine Company must complete a sworn statement about pre-existing conditions. Those wishing to remain with their original Health Insurance will have 60 days to complete the corresponding procedure on the Superintendence of Health Services website.
If an affiliate decides to unsubscribe from a Prepaid Medicine Company for economic reasons, they can make a new Change Option to choose another entity registered in the National Social Health Insurance Registry (RNAS), whether a Prepaid Medicine Company or an activity-related Health Insurance. This ensures that contributions are directed directly without the need for intermediaries, resulting in greater transparency and savings for the beneficiaries.
The National Government seeks to promote competition, transparency, and freedom of choice in the health system, allowing beneficiaries to clearly know the destination of their contributions. For inquiries or doubts, affiliates can contact the Superintendence of Health Services for guidance. These changes aim to simplify the contribution system, eliminating additional costs and providing beneficiaries with greater control over their resources.
