Health Benefits

In Argentina, it is mandatory for employers to provide health insurance to their employees. Private health insurance—locally known as “Prepagas”—plays a vital role in ensuring comprehensive care. The expense of a group insurance plan is shared between employees and employers via social contributions (3% from employees and 6% from employers), and these costs are typically processed automatically during payroll. Any additional expenses beyond the standard contributions will be billed separately. Employees in Argentina now have three distinct plan options available—BASIC, STANDARD, and PREMIUM—each tailored to meet different healthcare needs and budgets. Plan costs may vary by 2–5% monthly due to inflation and regulatory changes, and the final cost depends on whether plan expenses exceed contributions in Remote’s shared contribution pool. Employees can select the plan that best fits their needs during onboarding.
