Health: authorities analyze how the Prejudicial Mediation Procedure will be implemented

The Superintendent of Health Services, Claudio Stivelman, led a meeting with the objective of analyzing the implementation of the Prejudicial Mediation Procedure in Health Matters (PROMESA), established by a decree of the national government.

In attendance were, in addition to national authorities, health sector representatives, academics, members of the Judiciary, and the Legislature.

The specialists discussed from an intersectoral perspective, the need for coordinated work among the justice system, regulatory agencies, and the health system, in an initiative by the social security fund for business owners, professionals, and self-employed workers seeking to restore dialogue in the face of increasing litigation in health matters.

The aim is also to promote consensus-based solutions that reduce costs and increase equity, encourage mediation, and consolidate the judicial referral to mediation as a conflict resolution mechanism.

What is the Prejudicial Mediation Procedure in Health Matters

Created through Emergency Decree 379/2025, this procedure serves as an optional, rapid, and less costly way to solve conflicts related to access to health services.

In June of this year, the national government created, through Emergency Decree 379/2025, the Prejudicial Mediation Procedure in Health Matters (PROMESA), defined as an optional, rapid, and less costly way to solve conflicts related to access to health services.

This is an optional mediation stage, prior to judicial action, for disputes involving Social Security Funds, Health Insurance, or Private Health Care.

The objective is to facilitate consensus-based solutions, reduce litigation, and promote an early and efficient institutional response.
