People insured with the National Health Fund (FONASA) benefit from free care in all their medical services in clinics, hospitals and other facilities of the public health network.
As of September 2022, the benefit known as Zero Copayment will be automatically activated for any patient who is discharged or discharged, if this beneficiary is previously accredited in the National Health Fund.
According to information provided by the Ministry of Health, through the Zero Copayment, 685 thousand people were attended free of charge in the public health system between September 2022 and March 2023 throughout the country, with an average out-of-pocket savings of USD 115 per person.
