Supersalud says they have not been notified of the Constitutional Court ruling that overturned the intervention of Sanitas.

More than a week after the Constitutional Court's Plenary Chamber annulled three resolutions with which the National Health Superintendency had ordered, corrected, and extended the government's intervention in the EPS Sanitas and its assets, the Supersalud affirms that it has not yet been notified of this ruling .
Likewise, the entity claims to be unaware of the full content of the decision, so it has not officially commented on the matter. According to Supersalud, they will await the legal analysis of the Court's decision to do so.
On April 2, 2024, the Superintendency ordered "the immediate seizure of the assets, property, and business of EPS Sanitas for a period of one year," as well as a forced intervention so that the government could assume administration of the health promotion entity. On April 10, the document was corrected, and on April 6, 2025, the intervention was extended for another year.
The Court annulled the three administrative acts and, after reviewing a writ of protection and reversing the decisions of the Superior Court of Bogotá and the Supreme Court of Justice—which had denied it—protected the EPS's right to due process. It also referred the case to the Special Chamber for Monitoring Judgment T-760 of 2008, which recognizes health as a fundamental right.

The majority of the Court concluded that the actions of the Health Superintendency—then headed by Luis Carlos Leal—violated the procedural rights of the country's second-largest health care provider. Judge Vladimir Fernández, former legal secretary of the Presidency, dissented, and Judge Natalia Ángel was not present because she was on committee.
Supersalud intervention worsened service at Sanitas In the case of Nueva EPS and Sanitas, Supersalud's auditors failed to achieve their goal of improving care over the past year. The control measure was extended in April of this year for both entities, on April 2 and 3, marking one year since Supersalud took control. This figure is significant considering that these insurers are among those with the most members: 11.6 million at Nueva EPS and 5.7 million at Sanitas.
In the case of Sanitas, the figures so far show that, instead of improving, the situation has worsened. For example, in the case of Sanitas, the indicators have been declining in this last year under the Supersalud administration. In 2023, Sanitas received a total of 185,634 complaints, and in 2024, it received 221,565, representing a 19 percent increase in complaints and claims from this health insurance company's users.
In the months prior to the intervention, that is, January, February, and March 2024, Sanitas accumulated 15,071, 15,721, and 14,367 complaints, respectively. A year later, during the Supersalud intervention, the insurer registered 23,495 complaints in January and 20,931 in February 2025. The figures for March of this year are not yet known.
