RIO - The National Health Agency (ANS) concluded the proposed revision of the procedures required to be covered by health plan operators from January 2014 to put the document for public consultation. The proposal provides for the inclusion of about 80 new covers, including medical and dental procedures, medications, therapies and tests, as well as expansion of indications for over 30 procedures already covered. The population may send suggestions and criticisms between June 7 and July 7.
For new toppings proposals highlight the inclusion of 36 oral drugs for cancer treatment, the introduction of a new technique for radiotherapy and approximately 30 surgeries per video, as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), nephrectomy (removal of kidney ) and cystectomy (removal of bladder), consultations with physiotherapists for treatment planning and laboratory tests for diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune diseases. For dental plans, procedures are included as periodontal grafts.
Among the procedures that have been covered and who had the broadening indications, are examining Pet Scan, passing from three to eight nominations and an increase in the number of consultations with nutritionists for indications such as obesity and overweight, as well as psychologists and physiotherapists.
Updating the List of Procedures and Health Events is made periodically by the regulator. The procedures are reviewed to ensure access to diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases by means of techniques that enable the best in health, always obeying the scientific criteria of safety and efficiency proven by Health Technology Assessment (HTA).
For this review, ANS formed a technical group that was attended by consumer protection agencies, ministries, health insurance providers, representatives of beneficiaries, health professionals and hospitals.
According to ANS, all contributions received will be reviewed. Then again the group will be convened to evaluate technical contributions to then be sent the final draft of the Normative Resolution. We will describe the analyzes for each contribution.
The List of Procedures and Health Events is mandatory for all contracted health plans from the entry into force of Law No. 9.656/98, the so-called new plans, or for those that have been adapted to the law.
Operators who do not comply with the stipulations of the List of Procedures are subject to a fine of R$ 80,000. Consumers can contact the Dial ANS (0800 701 9656) or attend one of the 12 cores of ANS in various regions of Brazil.
