Nueva EPS And Institute Reach Cancer Care Payment Agreement

Nueva EPS announced an extraordinary meeting scheduled for this afternoon to discuss payment solutions for a cancer institute. The institute is currently not accepting new adult patients but will continue providing oncological emergency services and care for children and youth. The meeting aims to ensure the institute receives necessary payments to maintain service levels for the Nueva EPS community. Nueva EPS suspended the admission of new cancer patients at the Instituto Cancerológico Nacional this morning. The suspension follows debts exceeding 146 billion pesos and the absence of a current valid contract. The entity confirmed it will only continue treating minors and will not admit patients in emergency cases. The decision follows concerns regarding the INS and the entity's financial obligations. The decision aims to prevent the suspension of medical services for hundreds of users.
