Health Regulator Starts Removal of 20 Inactive Prepagas From National Registry

Regulators say audits found no affiliates or required records at the listed firms, leaving current coverage unaffected.

Overview

  • The Superintendence of Health Services formalized the action in the Boletín Oficial, with edicts signed by technical supervisor Silvia Noemí Viazzi.
  • The targeted entities held provisional registrations and, according to audits under Law 26.682, showed no beneficiaries, no service delivery, and missing supporting documentation.
  • Officials emphasized that the move does not interrupt medical services, require reassignment of users, or trigger contingency plans.
  • The step continues a broader cleanup that has excluded more than 125 entities since the start of the Milei administration, following this week’s separate procedures for Staff Médico S.A., Sancor Medicina Privada S.A., and OSPA.
  • Local reporting noted that the list includes mutuals and cooperatives—such as Centro Médico Mar del Plata—which is not an operating prepaga, reflecting administrative regularization rather than a shutdown of active coverage.
