BRASILIA - The political articulation of medical entities in Congress could overturn that requirement , in practice, retarded the passage of a bill requiring health plans to replace lost accreditation by the professional equivalent , and determining that the consumer is notified of the change to 30 days in advance. According to Mr André Figueiredo ( PDT - EC ) , 47 of the 74 MPs who signed the petition turned back and showed a new feature to bring him down . With this, the project is free to go to the sanction of President Dilma Rousseff .

- We got the withdrawal of 47 signatures . Since yesterday we have been working . Already filed an appeal against the appeal proceedings , which provides that at least 50 % of the signatures had been withdrawn. We could go further , we removed 47 and now the bill goes to presidential approval . Now , it is with Dilma . It was a joint. The Federal Medicine Council and the Brazilian College of Radiology contacted us - said Figueiredo

Currently , the law only speaks of the commitment to exchange disaccredited hospital entities . The bill cites " any provider of health services ."

The order of application was made by the National Health Agency ( ANS ) - responsible for the regulation of health plans in the country - through government leadership in the House . Parliamentary countertop health require the maneuver and highlight another point in the project understand that it is important to regulate the relationships between physicians and health plans .

The project establishes the requirement of a written contract between the two parties , dealing , among other things , how the adjustment will be made for services rendered by professional and paid by the plan . It is precisely the form of adjustment facing opposition from ANS . Have favorable to the project members , and also the Federal Council of Medicine ( CFM ) , say , in fact , there has been lobbying the health plans that deny any maneuver.

The bill provides that the contract should bring a description of all contracted services , besides setting the values , deadlines and procedures for billing and payment of services rendered . Another point is the form and frequency of adjustment , which should be done annually , within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year . After this period , the bill stipulates that the ANS , " when appropriate " set the adjustment index .
For the agency , it would be an undue interference in the market .
