Usage Note
Mutua is the shortened everyday form of mutualidad or mutua de seguros — a member-owned insurance or benefit society. In Spain la mutua commonly refers to the occupational health insurer provided by an employer as an alternative to the public health system for work-related illness. The adjective mutuo (mutual) is the source, but mutua as a standalone noun has this specific institutional meaning that the adjective does not carry.
Examples
"Me enviaron a la mutua por la lesión laboral."
Natural Translation
They sent me to the mutual insurance fund for the work injury.
