The directors of the health insurance program, Seguro Nacional de Salud (Senasa) and the ARS Salud Segura under the Dominican Social Security Institute (IDSS) said yesterday that the real deficit these institutions carry in both cases is less than RD$300 million. They denied they are bankrupt.
Senasa director Altagracia Guzman Marcelino denied the debt carried by the health insurance program is more than RD$2.5 billion as suggested by the Superintendent of Health and Labor Risks (Sisalril) in a report sent to the National Council of Social Security (CNSS).
Jose Gabriel Fernandez, director of Salud Segura, said that their debt is similar to that of Senasa.
Guzman Marcelino accused the authorities of ignoring the sentence of 15 February 2012 of the Supreme Court of Justice that orders that all public employees be affiliated to the state insurance plan.
She said that at this time they have a fund of RD$2.35 billion to guarantee the health coverage of the affiliates of the payroll deduction regime and the subsidized regime of the Family Health Insurance (SFS) as well as the pensioners and retirees of the Ministry of Hacienda and to fulfill the commitments taken on with the health service providers. Moreover, she said that they have RD$139 million in reserve for administrative expenses. The Senasa director said that the accumulated debt to the health service providers is RD$612 million.
