00:00This morning, the 28th of May, has returned to remove the health system.
00:03Sura EPS, one of the biggest in the country, announced that he asked the Superintendencia
00:08of Health, the progress of the health system.
00:11This is a decision that we evaluate throughout the months with rigor, responsibility and transparency,
00:19with which we seek to anticipate to avoid what happened with other EPS,
00:24implementing appropriate measures for an orderly of our affiliates,
00:30and to manage responsibly obligations with providers and providers like clinics, EPS and hospitals.
00:39Sura has today 5.547.000 affiliates, the majority in the contributing regime, 4,6 million.
00:46What is this figure and what will happen with the affiliates? Here we tell us.
00:54In words, simple, the program progress of the program is a legal figure that allows the
00:59recovery of an orderly and diligently of the health system.
01:02The request of Sura is to make a transition organized and planified of its affiliates that
01:08guarantee the complete delivery of the clinical information and ensure the continuity of the
01:12treatment according to the needs of the people's needs.
01:19For the moment, Sura presented his proposal to the Superintendencia de Salud, which will
01:23have a long time of 65 days to study and decide whether it is accepted or not, according to
01:30Paulo Otero, head of EPS Sura.
01:33After this lapso, if SuperSalud lo aprueba, they will agree between both actors how
01:37will the progress of that will begin the plan of execution.
01:44EPS Sura said that his index of sinestrality compared to the UPC was of 102%, that is,
01:51that he spent $102 of every $100 that he received to guarantee the health services of his
01:57affiliates.
01:57Between the reasons to explain those numbers, Sura showed difficulties in how
02:02se ajusta anualmente los aumentos de la UPC y, por ende, su insuficiencia.
02:10EPS Sura es especialmente importante en Antioquia, departamento en el que tiene más de 3 millones
02:16de afiliados.
02:16En Bogotá, la EPS tiene poco más de 480 mil afiliados.
02:21La EPS aseguró que van a seguir prestando servicios hasta que se haga efectivo el retiro
02:25voluntario, es decir, se van a seguir administrando medicamentos.
02:29Y los usuarios van a poder pedir y asistir a sus citas médicas con médicos generales
02:33y especialistas.
02:35Hay que tener en cuenta que este cambio solo aplica a todo lo que tiene que ver con la
02:40EPS Sura, pero en cuanto al servicio de salud prepagada, todo sigue igual.
