Spain signs regional agreements with mutuals to streamline temporary incapacity procedures
Based on · First reported
Sources
- The Ministry of Inclusion and social agents signed an agreement in July 2024 to involve mutuals in temporary incapacity, requiring each autonomous community to sign a collaboration agreement with mutuals.
- To date, agreements have been signed by the autonomous communities of Baleares, Cataluña, Asturias, Castilla‑La Mancha and Cantabria, and the Instituto Nacional de Gestión Sanitaria (INGESA) participates for Ceuta and Melilla; the Baleares pact specifies that the public health service will provide the mutual with patient consent and through the INSS the necessary medical actions, while the primary care physician recognises leave and discharge, and the agreement runs for four years with a monitoring commission.
- Mutuals and unions have criticised the limited impact of the agreements, pointing to a lack of IT procedures and internal resource constraints.
