The Government’s spokesperson minister, Pilar Alegría, has announced that before the end of the year a new tender will be launched to provide health care to officials assigned to Muface, improving from 17.11% in two years offered in the first tender to 33, 5% in three years the increase in the premium that will be paid to insurers.

This increase in the premium occurs after the first tender was void in the month of November when insurers considered that the increase of 17.11% (16.5% in the first year and 0.62% in the second) was insufficient to cover its costs.

In this way, the amount of the concert becomes 4,478 million euros, which represents an increase of 957 million euros. In addition, the concert goes from two to three years, covering until 2027. The cost per year will be 1,303 million euros in 2025, 1,490 million euros in 2026, and 1,685 million euros in 2027.

With this provision, the premium will increase by 19.37% in 2025, 7.25% in 2026 and 4.32% in 2027, with a cumulative increase in three years of 33.5%. The average premium per mutual member per year will go from 1,032.12 euros currently to 1,262.28 in 2027.

As a novelty, after the preliminary consultation in which only Asisa and DKV participated, the formula for calculating the premium has been changed. It goes from a linear premium to an incremental one depending on the age groups, so that more will be paid to insure older groups and less for younger ones.

“I want to send a message of peace of mind to all mutual members because they will have their health care guaranteed under the same conditions they currently enjoy,” indicated the minister spokesperson.

The concert covers 1.5 million people, including owners and beneficiaries. 65% of the holders are primary, secondary and university teachers and 17% belong to some bodies of the General State Administration.
