Spanish Government Increases Muface Premium to Attract Insurers
The Council of Ministers in Spain has approved a new proposal to increase the Muface premium, aimed at attracting more insurers after months of negotiations and disagreements. According to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function, an additional 330 million euros has been allocated to the previous bidding, raising the premium from 335 million euros to 415 million euros.
This second increase follows a series of consultations with bidders and in light of new information available to the Administration. The Government has now stated that the total value of the contract for the three fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027 will reach 480.85 million euros, which includes the additional allocation of 330.5 million euros. In total, this new offer represents an increase of 127.65 million euros compared to the current agreement in place.
Despite the modifications to the bidding, the duration of the agreement remains three years, ensuring stability in healthcare for the affected groups, as explained by the Government. The new structure of premiums, approved in the tender held last December, is designed to increase based on age brackets.
It is essential to note that this modification solely impacts the private healthcare agreement for civil servants in Spain, while the agreement for civil servants stationed abroad remains unaffected by these changes, as they have already received a timely offer.
