Javier Milei's government, through the Superintendency of Health Services, formalized the start of the administrative deregistration procedure for 20 prepaid medical companies that, although they appeared as registered, did not record effective activity.
The decision was formalized this Thursday through the publication of an edict in the Official Gazette, in a new stage in the process of reorganizing the registry of Health Insurance Agents.
According to information provided by official sources, the measure is based on audits carried out by the agency, which made it possible to verify that the companies involved did not have members, did not provide health services, and had not submitted supporting documentation proving real operations. In this context, it was determined that these were entities that remained in the registry in a merely formal manner, without concrete functioning within the system.
This procedure is in addition to the deregistration of three other companies ordered at the beginning of the week, which brings to 139 the total number of prepaid providers removed from the registry since the beginning of the current administration. In all cases, these are companies that did not carry out effective activity.
The agency explained that the central objective of these decisions is to clean up the registry and have an updated roster of agents that actually operate within the health system.
The reorganization process began in the first months of the current administration, after it was detected that the official list included a significant number of entities that were formally authorized but without concrete activity. In many of those cases, companies were identified without members, without an operational structure, and without the submission of basic information required by current regulations.
The authorities clarified that the deregistrations ordered do not affect companies that are providing services and do not generate consequences for users of the health system. In that regard, they emphasized that the entities affected by these measures did not have registered beneficiaries or provide services at the time of the audits, so there is no impact on members of the private health system.
