Is Private Health Insurance mandatory for employees in Argentina?



Modified on: Thu, 23 Oct, 2025 at 4:32 PM

In practice, many companies in Argentina choose to provide additional benefits to support employee well-being.

For instance, when the healthcare contributions (3% employee contribution and 6% employer contribution) do not fully cover the monthly cost of the health insurance plan, some employers voluntarily cover the difference to ensure full medical coverage.
This is not a legal obligation, but rather a voluntary employee benefit.

Other common benefits offered by companies include:

  • Access to gym memberships or wellness programs.

  • Discounts at supermarkets or partner stores.

  • Meal vouchers or food delivery credits (e.g., via PedidosYa).

These benefits are optional but are often implemented to enhance employee satisfaction and retention.
