Overview
- Doctors of record and dentists who serve PAMI began a national 72‑hour strike on Monday to press for an urgent recomposition of the fees they receive for consultations.
- The dispute traces to Resolution 1107/2026, which in April raised the monthly capitation payment but removed per‑service extras such as paid consultations and home visits, a change providers say cut their take‑home income sharply.
- PAMI has offered modest increases reported as 1.9% for June and July and a separate rise of 300 pesos to the capitation, proposals that providers across provinces have called insufficient and rejected.
- The strike has already forced reprogramming of routine appointments, prompted local mobilizations such as in Salta, and produced uneven impact because some associations say most doctors continue to attend urgent cases or work normally.
- Negotiations remain open but unresolved, the main sector unions have not formally endorsed the stoppage, and the outcome will determine whether care for millions of PAMI affiliates faces longer disruption or a negotiated fee update.
