Numerous civil guard agents destined in the city of Torreviej They must pay their own pocket the cost of any health care.
This measure directly affects civil guards whose medical coverage It corresponds to the Social Institute of the Armed Forces (ISFAS), through the Asisa insurer, in the A5 modality. It is an analogous benefit to which other State officials receive through MUFACE. However, agents have been excluded from health care in the hospital, despite being a concerted service and with The agreement in force since February of this year.
Among those affected, says the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC), There are injured civil guards in the act of servicethat were in the process of rehabilitation in the center, and that are now forced to move to locations such as Elche, Alicante or Murcia to continue their treatments. This transfer Not only does it imply economic and logistical damage, but also a serious personal and health impact for those who depend on continued therapies.
Assume the cost
In addition, Isfas has been referring to its affiliates a statement by moving that Quirónsalud has stopped serving the mutualists with the A5 Asisa modality. In this sense, the message via email and SMS apologizes for discomfort and offers as a transitory measure assume the cost of the emergency room.
It has also enabled A Polyclinic of the IMED group in Torrevieja with limited hours (from 8 to 20 hours). However, any attention outside that schedule must be carried out in public or private centers away from the city, such as IMED Elche, Hla La Vega (Murcia) or Vistahermosa (Alicante), prior authorization and transfer managed by Asisa.
This measure leaves civil guards without a reference hospital in their own city, generating “A situation of clear sanitary deprotection in the middle of summer”complains of the Augc.
All this happens in an especially sensitive context for citizen security in Torreviejawhere “unfortunately and from a while ago there has been an increase in aggressions to members of the security forces in their actions, with a clear increase in the loss of the principle of authority,” criticizes the AUGC.
It is worth noting the last episode where, just a few days ago, local police officers were attacked in the middle of the street, evidencing an increase in violence against order forces. “In this climate of growing tension, the withdrawal of medical coverage is an additional moral blow to the agents,” says the AUGC, which finally launches a reflection: “Who takes care of those who take care of citizens?”
Quirónsalud
Regarding this suspension of health care as of July 15, Quirónsalud has explained that “due to The continuous and repeated contractual breaches by the Insurer Asisa, that prevent us from offering a health service with guarantees, we are forced, very much to our regret, to Interrupting the attention to Mutualists of Isfas and MUFACE Under Asisa coverage in this center. “
Finally, they have pointed out that “since Quirónsaludour priority are patients. We will resume the service as Asisa guarantees that we can continue to offer the highest quality and clinical safety to our patients. “
