Proposal aims to contribute to the reduction of the number of health insurance claims
"We have all faced an abusive practice that affects beneficiaries of private health care plans in general. When we try to schedule a medical appointment, we are faced with the question "Is it by agreement or is it private?", Followed by the simple explanation that "If it is private, there is a vacancy today, but if it is by agreement, Months ".
It is with this text that the Senator of the Republic, Pedro Taques, opens the justification of Bill 525/2013, which prohibits giving priority to patients who pay directly for the consultation, to the detriment of those who use health insurance.
The text, which amends Law No. 9,656, of June 3, 1998, prohibits the contracted service provider and contracted, accredited or cooperated health professional from a plan operator or private health insurance company to use a differentiated agenda for the Marking consultations, examinations and procedures or practicing any discrimination or differentiation of the marking period between the patient covered by plan or insurance and that paid for by own resources.
The project also determines that people over 60 years of age, as well as pregnant women and infants and children up to five years of age, are prioritized in the marking.
"We hope, with this proposal, to contribute to the reduction of the huge number of consumer complaints of private health insurance plans and insurance," reported Taques.
