Supersalud responds to the Constitutional Court regarding the Sanitas case: it files a nullity motion and a request for clarification of the ruling.
After the Constitutional Court issued Ruling SU-277 of 2025—which repealed the administrative intervention imposed by the National Health Superintendency on EPS Sanitas—the entity finally issued a statement: this Wednesday, it confirmed that it had filed a nullity motion and a request for clarification with the high court.

In a brief statement, the Superintendency of Health explained that on July 28, it submitted "a request for clarification regarding the decisions made by the Constitutional Court in Ruling 277 of 2025, in order to obtain clarity on the procedures, processes, and procedures that must be carried out as a result of these decisions, among other matters."
He also reported that he filed a "nullity motion seeking to guarantee and respect due process by this entity as a defendant in the constitutional action."
The official announcement comes well after the Constitutional Court, under the leadership of Judge Juan Carlos Cortés González, overturned previous decisions by the Bogotá Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Justice, ruling in favor of the Keralty Group entities—including EPS Sanitas, Colsanitas, Medisanitas, and Clínica Colsanitas—considering that their right to due process had been violated in the intervention of the EPS.
In its ruling, the Court repealed the resolutions that had allowed the takeover and administrative intervention of EPS Sanitas, specifically Resolution 2024160000003002-6 of April 2, 2024, which ordered the intervention for one year; Resolution 2024100000003060-6 of April 10, 2024, which modified the previous resolution; and Resolution 2025320030001947-6 of April 1, 2025, which extended the measure.

The Court indicated that these resolutions were made without the minimum guarantees of due process, and ordered their annulment to restore the fundamental rights of the plaintiffs.
Now, the Superintendency is seeking to reverse or at least temporarily halt (while the Court resolves the requests) the effects of that decision, alleging that it was also violated as a party in the process. The entity did not offer further details on the content of its nullity motion or on the specific points it is requesting clarification.
