Increases were registered since the beginning of the year for individual contracts

The prices of health plans with individual contract rose to 23.50% for accession from the beginning of the year, according to a survey done by JT with six major operators in the industry. Only one of them did not reset the value of tuition and other reduced prices by up to 15.02%.

According to the president of the Brazilian Medical Group (Abramge), Arlindo de Almeida, the price charged for new contracts is free and only the former are adjusted by the National Agency for Supplementary Health (ANS) - 6.76% in May. He said that the increases occur because the increases released by the regulatory agency are smaller than the increase in business spending and there is compensation in the new contracts.

Among those who went over the value of membership is the Dix Amico: the age range of 19 to 23 years increased from R $ 64.85 per month in June for U.S. $ 80.09 in July in the standard plan, an adjustment of 23.50 %.

Following is the plan of the same company to range between 39 and 43, who was R $ 97.30 in June to U.S. $ 116.19 in July, up 19.41%. The rest of the tracks had smaller increases or even fall over the period. According to the company, the table went through an overhaul following the prices of competing Amil.

On the entry of Amil has been a readjustment of 15% in all age groups. However, the carrier contests the comparison, for failing to offer in May, the plan Next 10 QC. This, however, was replaced by Blue I is 15% more expensive than the package extinguished by the company.

Another who readjusted the plan in all tracks was Medial, an increase of 10% in September. The carrier says the increase occurred because of rising medical costs, evaluation of claims portfolio, among others. Unimed also increased the price by 2% in June.

The Samcil was the only one that did not touch the value of the monthly basic plan since the beginning of the year. Now Greenline is the entry plan 15% cheaper for all ages. The company said the reduction is due to a promotion of accession no end in sight.
