Costa Rica’s social security fund, CCSS, has launched an investigation following allegations of illicit commissions paid to a physician. The complaint centers around the alleged preference for, and use of, a specific brand of medical stents in patient procedures. The CCSS confirmed the opening of the investigation after receiving the denunciation regarding these alleged practices. Details of the alleged commission payments and the identity of the physician involved have not been publicly released. This investigation aims to determine if patients were inappropriately influenced by financial incentives related to medical device selection. The CCSS is committed to ensuring transparency and ethical conduct in healthcare practices, and will fully investigate the claims. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
