The National Agency for Supplementary Health (ANS) submitted on Tuesday (25) the evaluation process of the first programs of health promotion and risk prevention and diseases registered by operators of health plans with the regulator. Only 25.8% of the initiatives implemented were considered satisfactory and are able to receive a Statement of Approval, a kind of certificate of quality. Of the 101 programs, 26 - to 14 operators - were approved and 75 disapproved.
The first list of approved programs is available for consultation and those interested can also print a statement of approval to certify the quality of initiatives. "We consider this first evaluation very positive and we know that others will be registered, because we know that there is some very good ones that are still in the process of registration," said

"We're being rigorous in the analysis because our intent is that the programs actually translate into improved quality of life for beneficiaries. That's why now we keep a constant monitoring with the carriers," said general manager and technical assistance product of ANS, Martha Oliveira. Most of the approved programs were developed in line with attention focused on the adult and elderly by medical cooperatives and the state of Sao Paulo.

Chronic disease management, osteoporosis prevention and control of hypertension, smoking, diabetes and obesity are some of the topics chosen. Martha Oliveira also said that programs can fail to be reworded and resubmitted for further examination. "In many cases, small adjustments can make the program possible.
