Against 91,259 (or almost 15%) the out-of-regulation debts of the funds increased in March 2022 compared to December 2021.
This is revealed by the data it contains the 1st quarterly report of the Insurance Collection Center (KEAO) for 2022 in relation to its 4th quarterly report for 2021.
Specifically, the comparative study of KEAO data shows that between the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022:
– Completed arrangements increased by 73,561
– Lost settings increased by 164,820
This means that the “net” reduction of debts that are in settlement amounts to 91,259.
The “net” result is obtained if the new lost settings (73,561) are removed from the new lost settings (164,820).
More specifically, the integrated arrangements from 332,499 in December 2021 amounted to 406,060 in March 2022. Therefore they increased by 73,561.
Also, the lost arrangements rose from 451,432 in December 2021 to 616,252 in March 2022. They therefore increased by 164,820.
The huge increase in lost settings came in particular from the loss of 120-dose settings. Specifically, 120,671 settings were lost. This number corresponds to 30% of the active settings (120 installments) in December 2021.
The decrease of the active settings with 120 doses (-113,679) was only partially offset by the increase of the active fixed settings (12 doses), which increased by 49,999 or 52% between December 2021 – March 2022, but also the increase of the active settings in 72 doses (by 44,667 or 81%).
As a result, the active regulations were reduced “net” by 20,663 or 4.3%.
The decrease in active settings (combined with the huge increase in total lost settings) observed in the first half of 2022 is the largest since mid-2019, when the 120-dose adjustment was implemented, boosting the number of active settings . Even in the middle of 2020 until the middle of 2021, when it was the most “hard” phase of the pandemic, there was not such a big decrease in the active regulations.
