Who pays for provincial public care?
Article 3 protects urgent, emergency and life-saving care regardless of immigration status. The province may recover costs afterward. Article 5 limits reciprocity exceptions to the services covered by the applicable agreement.3
Article 6 assigns public medical tariffs to the provincial health authority under Law I 49 Article 3. A current patient-specific price is still needed. Ask the facility to confirm your category, documents, accepted insurer and expected charges.2,
Use DINO for scheduled care
The October 2, 2026 DINO update gives WhatsApp 280 460-3466 for scheduled appointments. It asks for personal details and generates a digital credential. In-person booking continues. Confirm how to register with your identity documents.1
The May Comodoro announcement included Hospital Regional adult cardiology, rheumatology and dermatology, plus pediatric pulmonology. It also named Standard Norte, San Cayetano, Próspero Palazzo and Pietrobelli CAPS. Check whether the appointment you need is currently offered through DINO.7
Confirm the Clínica del Valle site
Clínica del Valle lists its central site at Av. Alsina 656 and a Km3 site at Av. Tehuelches 67. The emergency address is Ameghino 1334. Confirm the location of your appointment rather than traveling to the wrong site.5
Ask the clinic about consultation prices, insurer approval and language support before booking. No current private fee or English-language guarantee is given here.
