AMMAN — The Jordan Insurance Federation (JIF) has decided to withdraw from the joint pricing committee responsible for
studying medical fees and proposed mechanisms for implementing the Cooperative
Doctors Fund system.
In a letter addressed to the Minister of Health, Feras Al-Hawari, the federation stated that its withdrawal from the
committee comes in protest against the Jordan Medical Association’s (JMA)
return to escalation through a letter addressed to the International Health
Informatics Company, stipulating the implementation of the Cooperative Fund and
the new wage scale.
JIF expressed its astonishment at the JMA’s
insistence on implementing a wage scale that is not officially agreed upon, nor
complies with previously upheld protocol.
The Insurance association hold the JMA responsible for “placing obstacles in the way of the committee’s work
before its meetings commence.”
