Healthcare in Nouvelle Alexandrie is composed by a multi-payer health care system that is paid for by both statutory health insurance and private health insurance. Statutory health care is provided three major components: the Seguro de Salud Federal (SSF), Seguro Militar (SV), and the Federal Hospital System. The Carrillo National Health System is the largest private and non-profit health care provider in Nouvelle Alexandrie. There are several other private health insurance companies, such as MediNalex and Vitalité Assurance. The health care system in Nouvelle Alexandrie is known for being relatively restriction-free and highly consumer-oriented, allowing its patients to seek any type of care needed when they need it. The Seguro de Salud Federal (SSF) keeps a reserve of more than NAX€115 billion, making it a strong and healthy health care system.

As of 1721 AN, Nouvelle Alexandrie's health care system is 60% government-funded and 40% privately funded. Nouvelle Alexandrie is known for very low infant and maternal mortality rates due to its pro-natalist health care policies implemented since the New Prosperity Plan, known as the Healthy Families Plan. Number of practicing physicians in Nouvelle Alexandrie is at 3.5 per 1,000 persons.

The New Alexandrian health care system is decentralized with private practice physicians providing ambulatory care, and independent, and mostly non-profit hospitals providing the majority of inpatient care. Standard insurance is funded by the Social Solidarity Tax, which is a combination of employee contributions, employer contributions, and includes government subsidies on a scale determined by income level. Higher-income workers may choose to pay a tax and opt-out of the standard plan, in favor of private insurance. The latter's premiums are not linked to income level but instead to health status. Private insurance policies can also be purchased by individuals and families that prefer a wider network of healthcare providers or that want additional coverage beyond what is provided by the SSF.

Since 1685 AN, health insurance has been compulsory for the whole population in Nouvelle Alexandrie, when coverage was expanded from the majority of the population to everyone through the New Prosperity Plan.

Seguro de Salud Federal (SSF)

The Seguro de Salud Federal (SSF), also known as Federal Health Insurance or MediCare, is the national health insurance system run by the Department of Social Security and National Solidarity's Social Care Financing Administration. The SSF primarily provides health insurance for individuals earning less than 150% of the federal poverty line, pensioners, and disabled individuals.

The SSF comprises three parts:

• Part A: Covers hospital services, skilled nursing, home health care, and hospice services.
• Part B: Covers outpatient services, medical equipment, and prescription drugs.
• Part C: Covers alternative health plans not covered by Parts A and B, with the stipulation that enrollees must be registered in Part A and B first.

SSF is primarily funded by the Social Solidarity Tax, a payroll tax. SSF enrollees also pay premiums for Parts B and C.

Private Health Insurance

While the federal health insurance programs cover a significant portion of the population, private health insurance also plays an important role in the healthcare system in Nouvelle Alexandrie. Private policies are typically purchased by individuals and families who prefer a wider network of healthcare providers or who want additional coverage beyond what is provided by the SSF. Private insurance companies offer a range of plans with varying premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums. Many employers in Nouvelle Alexandrie also offer group health insurance as part of their benefits packages, further contributing to the reach of private health insurance in the country. Higher-income workers may choose to pay a tax and opt out of the standard plan, in favor of private insurance, usually provided by their employer or purchased directly from a health insurance company.
