Overview

• Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said Article 12 of Resolution 2400/2023 will be scrapped by the Health Ministry and the Superintendence of Health Services in the coming days.
• The clause had barred refunding or crediting excess payroll-derived contributions, allowing companies to retain any amount above the plan cost.
• Authorities estimate about 1.8 million salaried affiliates were affected, with roughly AR$180,000 million retained over nearly two years.
• The forthcoming rule will require invoices to itemize automatic subsidies so it is clear those funds belong to each affiliate.
• The government characterized the 2023 change as a favor to prepagas during an election-period quota freeze, an allegation directed at the prior administration.
