Medical Syndicate: Wage and Agreement Implementation Key to Insurance Dispute
The Jordanian Medical Association has confirmed that its decision to cease dealing with certain insurance companies was prompted by their failure to comply with the provisions of the signed agreement. This move aims to ensure the implementation of the 2024 doctors’ fee schedule and to safeguard their financial and professional rights, while also protecting patients' right to receive treatment. The association pointed out that the agreement, which went into effect in June 2025, stipulates regulating the relationship with insurance companies, ensuring that dues are paid directly into doctors’ accounts, and establishing a joint technical committee to resolve disputes. However, some companies have not adhered to these terms despite repeated requests. Furthermore, the association emphasized that doctors’ fees constitute approximately 18% of the treatment cost, and that their pay has increased by between 20% and 40% since 2008. This increase comes after years of applying previous pricing rates. They also noted that rising insurance costs surpass doctors’ fees and include other components. The association announced the launch of an electronic platform to settle financial claims, enhance transparency, and facilitate auditing and review processes. They clarified that the decision aims to correct the situation with non-compliant companies, not to hinder patient treatment, except in emergency cases. Finally, they called on insurance entities to fulfill their commitments under the agreement and to appoint representatives to the technical committee to ensure stable relationships and sustainable healthcare services.
