There is still confusion about the income that private medicine affiliates must declare to determine if corresponds to the February quota increase by 4.91% instead of 8.21%. And this despite today the Superintendence of Health Services published in the Official Gazette Resolution n. 2/2023 which confirms the advance of Clarín that “holders” of the prepaid card must “complete, from the 1st to the 20th of each month, deed of notoriety of income corresponding to the immediately preceding calendar month”, but without clarifying whether it is the individual income or family group joined the prepaid plan.
SSSalud sources state that the income of the franchisee or franchisee owner is considered. Meanwhile Claudio Belocopitt, president of the Argentine Health Union (UAS), the body that brings together private pharmaceutical companies and owner of Swiss Medical, He told this newspaper that the income of the family group affiliated to the health plan is considered.
The difference is no less because what determines the application of the increase of 4.91% instead of 8.21% is precisely the income that the affiliate must declare. If they are less than the equivalent of 6 Minimum, Vital and Mobile Salaries (SMVM), the increase in the quota is 4.91% and if it exceeds it it is 8.21%.
The minimum wage considered in this first affidavit is DEC ($61,953) and the 6 SMVMs equal $371,718as stated on the SSSalud page.
Thus, for example, it may happen that each member of a couple earns less than 6 minimum wages but the sum of their income exceeds it. In that case, it is not appropriate to return the affidavit. And the 8.21% increase applies.
The Resolution of the SSSalud confirmed that “holders” of the prepaid card must “compile, from the 1st to the 20th of each month, a declaration of income corresponding to the immediately preceding calendar month, entering through the application which will be available on the institutional website of the SUPERINTENDENCE OF HEALTH SERVICES, by means of authentication through its own CUIT/L and tax code”, pursuant to resolution no. 2/2023 published today in the Official Gazette.
For its part, “from the 21st and until the end of the month, the Superintendency for Health Services will make available to each Prepaid Medicine Body, on its website, the corresponding information on the substitutive declarations submitted by its users, for the purposes of the request corresponding limits in the corresponding cases”.
In turn, the resolution makes this clear “Filing of income tax returns for previous months will not be accepted. to that envisaged on the basis of the loading date, nor will the application of the ceiling be applied retroactively”. In other words, those who do not carry out the procedure during the month will not be able to complete it in the following month or months nor claim compensation for having paid a higher amount.
The Resolution, on the other hand, detailed the first and second level services that can give rise to the collection of fees in the coverage plans that the Prepaid Medicine Institutions must offer.
