Teachers will have 100% advance payment for these services in March: keep it in mind
The National Fund for Social Benefits for Teachers (FOMAG) announced the implementation of a historic measure. Starting in March 2026, the Fund will pay 100% in advance for first-level healthcare services under the capitation model.
TL;DR
- FOMAG will pay 100% in advance for first-level healthcare services starting March 2026.
- This new payment model under capitation aims to resolve cash flow problems for healthcare providers (IPS).
- Previously, payments were subject to prior audits or partial disbursements, causing delays in medication and appointments for teachers.
- The change aligns with Law 1122 of 2007, allowing providers to receive full payment before service delivery.
- Specific deadlines are set for invoice submission: March 9th for the first cycle, and regular timelines thereafter.
- A 20% reserve for invoices submitted up to January 31, 2026, will be paid between March and May after internal audits.
