CSIF denounces that health insurers have reduced care quality in mutual officials

The Independent and Officials Trade Union Central (CSIF) has warned that Health insurers have reduced care quality in mutual officialsdespite the agreement reached with the Government, so it asks the administration and the political groups that intervene to guarantee the quality and “the officials are not insured of the second category.”

Thus, CSIF ensures that you have information that negotiations between insurance and health suppliers (medical associations and hospital groups) is in a “very delicate” situation. This negotiation concludes on the 23rd.

The union indicates that, despite receiving a “substantial increase” in the premium by the government, of 41.2 percent, to make the contract more attractive, this increase is not now being reflected in the rates of doctors and hospitals.

At this point, remember that this has already caused the withdrawal of HM hospitals in the MUgeju and Isfas agreements in Catalonia (mutuals of justice and defense), as well as the reduction in general lines of the medical offer. He also points out that he has known the withdrawal of another hospital group (Quirón Salud) of the ISFAS Agreement by Adeslas.

«These exits, which add to the withdrawal of the DKV insurer of the last concert with the mutuals, are a serious precedent and other hospitals could make the same decision if this situation does not change. Sanitas and Mapfre did not agree to participate in Mugeju for not reaching the insurers, ”adds the union.

For this reason, they understand that the administration must intervene to guarantee the quality of the health offer. «Mutualists must be entitled to the same service portfolio of the National Health System, but the withdrawal of these hospitals, some of them leaders in the treatment of cancer diseases, can question quality and turn mutualists into second -category patients. We ask the General Council of MUFACE to intervene to supervise this situation, ”he adds.

In line, CSIF warns, that The administrative mutualism model has been saved by all parties and “makes no sense that now a correct financing to doctors and hospitals is not transferred, for a scar position of insurers”.

«We are not going to consent and from CSIF we are going to intensify our interlocution until the 23rd when the health forecast agreements for MUFACE are closed. MUFACE will sign the sanitary concert for the next three yearspredictably after Holy Week, and will enter into force in May, ”they say.

CSIF requires the government to guarantee the viability of administrative mutualism, which it considers that it has functioned effectively for decades, but that «You must recover lost quality in health care for the lack of financing of the last concerts ». “We do not accept that the Airef report recently made as an excuse to dismantle the model,” he concludes.
