The Superintendency of Health Services transferred

another $ 3,000 million

to social works for reimbursements for

prolonged and more expensive treatments

"corresponding to the budget quota in execution for the month of August 2021".

according to Resolution No. 1484/2021 published this Friday in the Official Gazette.

So far this year, $ 15,864 million has been transferred

through the SUR program (Sistema Unico de Refunds).

It was $ 1 billion for January, $ 1.2 billion for February, $ 1.5 billion for March, $ 1.5 billion for April.

$ 2,364 million for May, $ 2,300 million for June.

$ 3 billion for July and now $ 3 billion for August.

They are reimbursements that "

must

explicitly

be used for the payment of providers and providers of the health system

, in order to maintain the chain of payments and to be able to face effectively and in a timely manner the situation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic."

The largest transfers this month correspond to the Social Work

for Commercial Employees

and Civil Activities ($ 446,613,616) Social Work for

Executives and Management Personnel

($ 178,769,269) and Social Work for

Rural Personnel

and Longshoremen ($ 159,227. 294).

In the accumulated to August, the highest repayments went to the Social Work of

Commercial

Employees, which

received $ 1,310 million, the Social Work of Executives and

Business Management

Personnel,

$ 675 million, and the

Personal Union of Civilian Personnel of the Nation,

$ 457 million.

As

Clarín has

been explaining

, these funds are not a contribution from the State to social works.

The Redistribution Fund

is financed with a part of the contributions and contributions

on the wage bill that goes to the social security system.

This advance mechanism totaled $ 23,855.7 million last year.

SUR is a health program that distributes the payment of long-term and more expensive treatment benefits, with high economic impact, among all entities.

What is sought through the program is to

avoid that higher spending ends up concentrated in certain entities

, especially among those with fewer affiliates or financial support.

The official Resolution says that the transferred amount "will be charged as an advance of funds of the requests presented by the Health Insurance Agents, pending cancellation to date and those that are presented in the future."

It also clarifies that "this Superintendency continues to

work on the reformulation and comprehensive reengineering

of the Single Reimbursement System (SUR), in order to shorten the time limits for the transitory nature of the measures taken."

However, he adds, "it is appropriate that this body continue to adopt measures in order to guarantee, through the distribution of resources from the Redistribution Solidarity Fund, adequate medical-assistance coverage for the beneficiaries of the National Health Insurance System. ".
