Hospital Syndicate criticizes SSS tariffs
The Syndicate of Hospital Owners in Lebanon has expressed its strong disapproval of the measures taken by the National Social Security Fund against several hospitals. These measures included warnings, contract cancellations, and suspension of advances, all under the pretext of non-compliance with the tariffs set by the Fund. The syndicate clarified that the current tariffs cover no more than 40% of the actual costs of healthcare services, and that some medical procedures are not covered at all. They emphasized that real costs are rising due to inflation, high fuel and energy prices, as well as increased expenses for medicines and maintenance. The syndicate pointed out that negotiations with the Fund’s management have aimed to establish fair tariffs that reflect true costs, but these efforts have yet to succeed. This situation threatens the continuity of healthcare services for patients and the futures of insured individuals. Nonetheless, the syndicate has indicated its willingness to cooperate and bear responsibility despite the challenging circumstances faced by the Fund.
