Your well-being is your greatest wealth, protect it with information!
Imagine a moment of vulnerability, when you are about to leave the hospital, feeling the relief of recovery. It is precisely in that moment of hope when malicious people can approach you with a false smile and a dangerous promise. The Mexican Association of Insurance Institutions (AMIS) has raised alarms about a practice that affects us all: the operation of false managers in private hospital centers. These people are not looking out for your well-being; They seek to take advantage of your situation to generate unjustified cost overruns that end up damaging the entire private health ecosystem.
But here’s great news: knowledge is your best shield. Norma Alicia Rosas, general director of AMIS, clearly explains to us how these intermediaries present themselves as “facilitators” who will speed up your procedures with the insurer. Don’t fall into this trap! Your power lies in always using official communication channels: your insurance agent, your insurance company or the hospital itself. When you give your documentation or authorize someone who does not belong to these institutions, you not only risk the misuse of your personal information, but you are possibly contributing to increased medical costs for everyone.
Unity is strength: how we combat these practices together
This is where our capacity for collective transformation shines brightly. Insurers and hospitals have joined forces in a powerful campaign to protect patients. They have established collaborative work tables where they carefully review the hospital care and discharge processes. The result? These irregular practices have begun to decrease significantly. Every time you choose the right channels, you become part of this transformative solution that benefits the entire community.
The numbers speak for themselves: some cases detected showed increases in hospital costs of between 20% and 30% directly attributable to these unauthorized managers. But we have the power to change these statistics. Transparency in our healthcare procedures is not just a preference; It is an empowerment tool that ensures that every peso intended for your health is used correctly.
As we face these challenges, there is another encouraging trend: Mexicans are making conscious decisions about our medical protection. Between 2022 and 2024, the attention to medical claims by insurers increased an incredible 34%, going from 2.2 million to 2.9 million events attended to. This reflects a wonderful awareness about the importance of having financial support in health. Only in the first half of 2025, companies allocated 63,675 million pesos to the protection of policyholders in Mexico. That is equivalent to 354 million pesos a day invested in our collective well-being!
Let’s celebrate progress while protecting our future
The data shows us a hopeful picture: more and more people understand the invaluable value of prevention and protection. Last year we witnessed a growth of 14% in claims attended to and 6.8% in the number of insured. These are not just statistics; They are stories of protected lives, protected families and assured futures.
The most significant coverages speak to us about our reality: after accidents, oncological conditions represent a crucial part of the protection provided by insurance. During the first half of 2025, insurers allocated 6,558 million pesos to cover cancers and tumors. It is inspiring to see how the system responds to these health challenges, with substantial investments in specialized treatments that save lives every day.
At the end of 2024, the sector allocated 122,278 million pesos to medical care, of which 25,450 million were specifically aimed at coverage of various types of cancer. The three oncological conditions with the highest outlays – breast, prostate and ovarian cancer – together represented 5,313 million pesos of protection for Mexican families. Particularly encouraging is seeing how breast cancer, with an investment of 3,068 million pesos, receives the attention and resources necessary for its treatment.
These numbers show us something fundamental: our community takes care of itself, protects itself and supports itself. Although we face challenges such as false managers, we also build a stronger, more transparent and more reliable system every day. Permanent communication between insurers and hospitals guarantees that you receive efficient, transparent and sustainable care, even in a context where medical inflation represents a constant challenge.
Your role in this transformation is crucial. Every time you choose official channels, every time you share this information with your loved ones, every time you make informed decisions about your medical protection, you are contributing to a more robust health system for all. Remember: your health is your most precious asset, and it deserves the best possible protection, free of unauthorized intermediaries and full of transparency every step of the way.
