TL;DR
- Unprocessed invoices at Nueva EPS increased from $4.38 trillion (12.6 million invoices) in April 2024 to $15.64 trillion (14.39 million invoices) by November 2025.
- The increase in unprocessed invoices occurred during state intervention, raising concerns about financial and operational management.
- While over 11 million invoices ($7.63 trillion) have been processed, the influx of new invoices outpaces the processing capacity, leading to a growing backlog.
- Senator Andrés Forero has voiced concerns about the escalating deficit and questioned the effectiveness of the intervention and the government's future plans for Nueva EPS.
- Speculation exists about potential political appointments to lead Nueva EPS, suggesting a possible arbitrary lifting of the intervention.
