The National Superintendence of Health ordered this Friday the forced administrative intervention of Savia Salud, the largest EPS of the subsidized regime in Antioquiwoe to which more than 1.6 million affiliates from 124 municipalities depend.
The decision is made on account of theSerious and repeated failures in care” to its users and “the management of public resources of the health system”, as expressed by that agency in a statement, adding that the measure will imply that the National Government will assume control of that joint venture and will take “immediate possession” of his “assets, assets and businesses”.
This intervention occurs after more than five years of uncertainty, after the August 4, 2017 that entity adopted a special surveillance measure on EPSlooking for him to solve problems in the provision of their services and above all, It will improve your financial balance.
The last extension of this measure occurred last Friday, January 27, when the last extension expired and Nervousness spread in the hospital network due to the risk of a possible liquidation of the entity.
And it is that according to the figures of the Colombian Association of Clinics and Hospitals, The EPS accumulated a debt with the hospital network of $394,910 million cut to the first half of 2022, the payment of which would have been left in suspense in the event of liquidation.
Although last January, the management of that EPS indicated that it hoped to improve its financial situation, the intervention ordered by the government shows that the indicators failed to straighten out.
“The execution of the health model in the EPS has not been able to improve the health indicators since their deterioration is evident, as well as the risk of increases in the cost of services due to failures in actions, especially in the first level of care, related to prevention and early detection of the disease,” said the surveillance entity.
Finally, Supersalud added that Edwin Carlos Rodríguez Villamizar was appointed as the intervening special agent and it is expected that in the next 30 days a work plan will be presented in which it is projected how to improve the finances of the EPS and guarantee the provision of services to its affiliates.
