The presentation was made in the Federal Civil and Commercial jurisdiction and already has an assigned court. The measure reaches 18 main medical companies prepaid and they must deduct everything they earned above inflation since December of last year.

Already with a sustained criterion, it ordered to roll back the quota to December, to rebill with the only increase authorized for the Superintendence of Health at that time, to abstain to suspend the service due to non-payment until it is re-invoiced according to what was ordered and is not made available to the person who issued the invoice so that they could pay. That is what is being done, that is what is being fulfilled, but only. “applies to people who have filed a protection action.”
