Health Regulator Moves to Drop 20 Inactive Prepagas From National Registry

Audits deemed the firms inactive, with the regulator saying current coverage remains intact.

Overview

  • Two edicts published in the Boletín Oficial and signed by technical supervisor Silvia Noemí Viazzi initiate the rejection of definitive inscription for 20 entities in the RNEMP.
  • Officials cite audits under Law 26,682 that found no affiliates, no medical services, and missing operational and accounting documentation.
  • The Superintendencia de Servicios de Salud says the action targets entities without beneficiaries and does not interrupt care for active users, while blocking the firms from operating as Agentes del Seguro de Salud.
  • The list includes Centro Médico Mar del Plata, which said it is not a prepaga and described the measure as an administrative regularization with no service impact.
  • The latest wave follows earlier-week moves involving Staff Médico, Sancor Medicina Privada, and OSPA; media tallies place total removals during the current administration at roughly 135 to 139, with the clean‑up continuing.
