Clinics might cancel contracts with ARS

[NewsWhore]

Private clinic owners told Listin Diario yesterday that they are thinking about canceling the contracts they have with six Health Insurance Providers (ARS) to provide health services to Family Health Plan (SFS) members. Rafael Mena, the head of the Association of Private Clinics (Adeclip) said that the system has not complied with the Social Security Law with respect to the sixth month revision of the clinics' earnings in relation to the country's inflation rate. He revealed that this decision could be taken as early as next Tuesday during an Adeclip membership meeting. He said that the clinics are the only institutions in the system that have not profited from the SFS and that they are currently losing between 12.5% and 14% from last year. He pointed out that other actors in the system have profited and the system has a surplus.
