dc.description.abstractObjectives: In Chile, Ricarte Soto Law defines a financial protection system for high-cost health technologies through a process of prioritization and evaluation of health technologies (ETESA). This study aims to evaluate the ETESA process in terms of its technical content and its coherence with the Chilean regulatory framework. Methodology: This is a documentary review of 34 reports prepared by the Ministry of Health. A data extraction matrix was applied to evaluate the elements in content and process. The analysis evaluated technical errors, process inconsistencies, and disagreements in interpreting results.Results: From 98 technologies, 59 were considered favorable, and 25 received coverage. A total of 20 inconsistencies were identified in the evaluation process, and 39 disagreements were documented on interpreting the results and technical errors. In the prioritization stage, we identified controversies in 44 technologies.Conclusion: The ETESA process of the Ricarte Soto Law is generally consistent with the regulations. Nevertheless, weaknesses persist in both technical and procedural terms. It is expected that the regulatory entity can use these results to implement the necessary improvements
