TL;DR
- Copayments and moderating fees for health system affiliates have been updated for 2026.
- The new values are calculated using the Basic Value Unit (UVB), set at $12,110 for 2026.
- The UVB replaces minimum wage and Tax Value Unit as the basis for indexing tariffs and charges.
- Moderating fees are contributions for medical/dental appointments, medications, and outpatient tests; subsidized affiliates are exempt.
- Copayments are percentage contributions for more complex procedures like surgery and hospitalization.
- These fees are part of an affiliate's obligation to access health services, as foreseen since Law 100 of 1993.
- The update maintains protection criteria for affiliates based on their regime and income level.
- Specific moderating fee amounts are tiered based on income levels (less than 2, 2-5, and greater than 5 minimum wages).
- Copayments for the contributory regime are tiered by income, with percentage rates and maximum limits per event and per year.
- Copayments for the subsidized regime have a maximum limit of 10% per service and per year.
