CMD signs with HMO Humano and others; strike ends
The doctors of the Dominican Medical Guild (CMD), the National Council of Specialized Medical Societies (Conasomep) and the National Association of Clinics and Hospitals (Andeclip) have all signed an agreement with ARS Humano, thus bringing to an end the boycott of services and procedures to members of this and several other health insurers (HMOs). ARS Palis, ARS Universal and the Dominican Association of Health Risk Insurers (ADARS) also signed the agreement.
Wilson Roa, the fiery leader of the CMD, told Diario Libre that it was calling on the doctors to provide services and procedures to those insured by these entities because the agreement is guaranteed by the Minister of Labor and the Superintendent of Labor Health and Risks (Sisairil).
Roa said there are two ongoing fights: one to reach an agreement and the other to see that the agreement is fulfilled. He was referring to the fact that the agreement reached late last week were but the ratification of commitments that had already been made in 2017 of which some will begin to be applied immediately and others will have to go to the National Social Security Council for their passing.
