Doctors' union stops dealings with four insurers over fee dispute
The President of the Jordanian Medical Association has decided to suspend dealings with four insurance companies starting Sunday, due to disputes over non-compliance with the agreed-upon medical fee schedule. The delay in paying doctors' dues and the refusal to implement annual increases were cited as reasons. The syndicate confirmed that some companies continue to violate the regulations, prompting the decision to cease cooperation, while exceptions are made for emergencies and intensive care cases to ensure necessary care is provided to insured patients. In contrast, the Jordanian Insurance Companies Federation and the Jordanian Association of Health Insurances expressed surprise at the decision and affirmed their commitment to previous understandings. They warned of legal repercussions that could result from doctors refusing to admit insured patients. This situation stems from disagreements over pricing of fees and their impact on Jordan’s healthcare system.
