Government’s bid to renew Muface Record premium increase (33.5% in three years)but still this figure is far from the per capita public expenditure that the State uses to cover each of its citizens, not only at present but also according to the figures of the last decade. Specifications to be released next Friday These include an annual expenditure of 1,262 euros per officer in 2027; This figure is lower than what public administrations allocated ten years ago. A difference of almost 350 euros compared to 2017 (1,599 euros according to the National Health System report).
This loophole was the insurers’ biggest bet at the end of this gig, because that’s what they pointed out. Main reason for incipient losses (429 million) in these last three years that are about to end.
Although the Muface concert has seen record premium increases with each new contract, the reality is that it is not increasing at the rate of public health spending per capita. This increased by 28.68% between 2016 and 2021 (last year with available data)From 1,555 euros it will exceed the limit of 2,000 euros per patient. In the same period, Muface premiums increased by only 11.77%The average cost was 838 euros in 2016 and 937 euros in 2021. There was a growth of approximately 100 euros in the five years in question, during which the allocated public funds increased by 450 euros.
From here on, the terrain is not comparable due to the lack of data in the public system, but the percentage increase in Muface premiums between 2016 (the start date of the biennial Muface concert) and the period until the end of the current concert is attributable to the public health mentioned above. In these nine years, which included four different agreements, the total premium increase was 23.14 percent.
shadow of the courts
There are other clouds on the horizon for the Muface concert (as well as the Mugeju and Isfas concert) other than the Government’s negotiations with insurers. Unipromel, an association representing self-employed physicians relied upon by insurers to provide administrative reciprocity services. They decided to go to court.
The association currently has Resignation and Mugeju petitions in the administrative judiciary, and these petitions are expected to be decided at the beginning of the year. However, the head of the association assured that the next step, once the public contract is published, would be to do the same for the possible Muface deal, as they felt that the figures presented by the Government were not suitable to achieve a deal. fair payment.
