The “medical bonus” is recognized as an illegal practice that violates the doctors’ agreement with prepaid companies. In order to eliminate the collection of said practice -which comes to resolve part of the distributive bid in the allocation of resources in terms of health income among the different actors that participate, contributors, financiers, entities that must regulate and administer, both in terms of public as well as private As prepaid medicine companies, we must make the contractual relationship with doctors transparent and turn it into an honest and transparent relationship.
Although this can be solved, the first thing would be to find mechanisms in agreement with the professionals who consider some elements.
Firstseek to improve the level of payment or compensation for professional services.
In second place, close the list of professionals so that they serve a greater volume of affiliates to compensate quantity for price.
And, thirdly, facilitate the reallocation of resources to the health system, so that new technologies and medicines leave the health budgetgreater resource capacity to be able to achieve this recomposition of income.
The truth is that, if each sector tries to save itself, the only way will be the explosion of the sector. Therefore, it is essential that all the actors who participate in the activity and who have the responsibility for the system to work and guarantee better services, join forces to understand that among all of us we must find a path of healthy balance, in which they are not the affiliates or society the adjustment variable with their pocket to this economic and financial imbalance that exists in the health system.
