Identity within the Argentine scheme
The SRT directory identifies Andina under its own legal name, and the company appears in the system bulletin for June 2026. Its name identifies an occupational risk insurer. Institutional links to Mercantil Andina do not make every insurance product associated with that brand part of the same cover. The entity named on the policy is the relevant contractual identity.
Comunidad Andina and records
Comunidad Andina is the official access point for clients and insurance intermediaries. The company describes functions including claims administration and requests for digital policies. Employers can also arrange a preventive advisory visit. For this service, the insurer specifies prior submission of the General Survey of Occupational Risks and the Survey of Risk Agents, commonly referred to by their Spanish acronyms RGRL and RAR.
Training and preventive support
Academia Andina is the distance-learning platform linked from the insurer’s website. Its courses concern safe working practices. Training should be connected to actual tasks and exposures at each workplace: completing a course does not, by itself, demonstrate that hazards have been controlled or replace the technical measures required for a particular job.
Claims and medical coordination
The insurer describes telephone reporting in which its team completes the report using the information supplied. A provider directory supports access to its medical network, while a separate portal handles provider billing. Reporting an event, coordinating treatment and invoicing care are distinct processes. A provider’s appearance in the directory does not itself establish that a condition has been recognised as occupational.
Insurance and preventive responsibility
Affiliation to an ART arranges the cover provided under Law 24,557; it does not transfer day-to-day workplace management to the insurer. Employers retain their duties to assess and control risks, inform and train workers and comply with occupational health and safety requirements. Benefits relate to work-related contingencies covered by the scheme, subject to the applicable determination and review procedures.

It is the official management portal for clients and intermediaries. It is neither a separate insurer nor a different social security scheme.
Where are medical providers listed?
In the official website’s provider section. For a particular event, the published claims and assistance channels can confirm the applicable referral.
