The Colombian Resolution 1962/2025 establishes the Comprehensive Financial and Healthcare Information System (SIIFA) as the central mechanism for consolidating comprehensive financial traceability within the General System of Social Security in Health (SGSSS). SIIFA is the mandatory channel for registering the entire transactional chain, encompassing contracts, electronic invoices (FEV), objections, and payments. Strategically, the system functions as the “digital skeleton” supporting the SGSSS’s structural transformation, aligning with the new Preventive Health Model (Decreto 858/2025).
All sector agents are legally obligated to register timely and accurate information. The obligated actors are: Responsible Paying Entities (ERPs – HMOs), Providers of Health Services (PSS), ADRES, Providers of Health Technologies (PTS), and manufacturers, importers, and holders of sanitary registration. Specifically, PTS and manufacturers are required to participate in the Contracting and FEV-RIPS modules, registering contracts, billing, and technology details.
The regulatory framework imposes extremely strict deadlines across the entire transactional chain, demanding the total automation of internal processes. The rigidity begins in the Contracting module, requiring ERPs/HMOs to register executed agreements within 15 business days (at the start of operations) and modifications within 5 business days. For the Monitoring Module, ERPs/HMOs have only 5 business days to accept or reject the registered invoicing information. If rejected, the PSS/PTS must adjust and re-register the correction within an equally short period of 5 business days. Regarding payments, the obligation is extremely strict: the detail of the payment transfer (giro) must be registered in SIIFA on the same day it is executed, with a maximum limit of 5 business days from the effective payment.
This environment of peremptory terms significantly elevates compliance risk, especially for PSS and PTS, who must ensure invoicing quality to avoid the 10-day correction cycle. Real-time data access empowers the National Superintendency of Health (SNS) with the capability for predictive surveillance.
