It’s been a while since Union of Pediatricians of Mendoza (UPEM) slipped the possibility that one of the decisions to alleviate the crisis in the private sector of the health was to collect a I promise covering the ethical value of medical consultation. This measure, from September 1 will be carried out and is endorsed by more than twelve groups of specialist doctors. Those who attend private clinics analyze this measure and expose the situation they are going through on guard duty with consultations. They are looking for the patient to be considered “private” and there will be a key meeting next week for it to take place. Biochemists would also join.
Authorities from the Cuyo Clinic, the Spanish hospital, the Santa Isabel clinic and Palmares met this Thursday. Sources consulted indicated that they met to “agree on the values of the guards and to discuss the issue of medical consultation.” After the communication between entities, they sent letters to the different social and prepaid obras explaining that many professionals are considering stopping receiving these social obras if the consultation fee of $6,000 does not arrive, either through coinsurance or privately.
This measure is not an isolated issue: as of September 1, different groups of health professionals intend to start collecting this medical coinsurance. Pediatricians, in fact, have already given the pertinent explanations to their patients in the offices where they attend and they pointed out that the measure is due to delays in the value of the consultation and also due to the lack of adjustment of the financing agents.
from private clinics They are going to wait for the response from the obras sociales, but the doctors have already been notified that the measure could be executed from the beginning of September with a value of $6,000 per consultation, whether the funders reach that value in full or obtain a co-payment that covers that figure. “If not, we are going to consider them private, make an invoice and fill it up with people who are going to claim the venues,” they said angrily.
On Wednesday or Thursday of next week, the last days of the month, the news will be confirmed and the doctors of the institutions indicate that due to the lack of agreement with the obras sociales and the prohibition of the same to the institutions to collect co-payments, the Patients would be considered individuals and would pay that “tariff” for the consultation.
