This Tuesday, November 5, the deadline for insurers to agree or not to participate in the new Muface concert has ended. Companies have decided no presentation considering that the funding offered by the Government is insufficient.
Despite the refusal, the mutual assured that all mutualists, both the owners and the beneficiaries, “will continue to receive the same health care who benefit from current conditions.
Sources from the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Civil Service explained to EL ESPAÑOL-Invertia that the Contract Law allows us to extend the service when another offer is awaiting approval. Continuity of coverage is therefore guaranteed until the concert is renewed.
If this renewal does not take place before the end of the current concert (it is valid until December 31), “continuity will be guaranteed advantages in accordance with the mechanisms provided for by the law on public sector contracts”, continues the mutual in a press release published this Tuesday.
Thus, SegurCaixa Adeslas, Asisa and DKV will continue to provide health care to mutualists who opt for private health care while waiting for the Muface concert to resume.
The ministry led by Óscar López has already announced that it will start working on a new tender. The conditions proposed by the Government for the Muface concert which should come into force in January 2025 provided for a Premium increase of 17.12%.
Thus, the total amount of the contract amounts to 1,337,059,970 euros in 2025 and 1,344,553,098 euros in 2026. In total, 303.9 million euros more compared to the last year of validity of the previous agreement . Amounts that insurers rejected by not participating in the call for tenders.
DKV explained that it had taken this decision “constrained by the insufficiency of the economic proposalwhich would lead to a deterioration in patient care and a deterioration in the remuneration of health professionals.”
Also for Asisa, the conditions established in the tender are “insufficient and do not allow us to maintain the current quality of care,” he said in a statement.
