Government Raises Tariffs for Disability Care 1.9% for October

Calculated from September's consumer‑price index, the uniform increase preserves a 20% Patagonian supplement to help cover higher costs in the south.

Overview

  • The update was formalized Thursday with the publication of Resolución 1/2026 in the Boletín Oficial, signed by Gianfranco Scigliano of the Subsecretaría de Regulación, Certificación y Proyectos.
  • The 1.90% rise applies uniformly across every service in the Sistema de Prestaciones Básicas and is calculated from the September 2026 IPC over values approved in September by Resolución 3487/2026.
  • An annex published with the resolution lists new specific tariffs for categories A, B and C, for example Centro de Día (jornada doble) in Category A rising from $1,120,292.68 to $1,141,578.24.
  • The measure keeps a 20% additional payment for services delivered in the Patagonian 'zona desfavorable', intended to offset higher operating costs in southern provinces.
  • The update also raises unit rates such as transport (from $915.31 to $932.70 per km) and feeding (from $5,015.63 to $5,110.93), continuing the monthly inflation‑indexation mechanism that adjusts provider pay to recent price changes.
