SAO PAULO - The health plans are likely to offer home medication for beneficiaries suffering from chronic diseases.
In next Tuesday (4), the NSA (National Agency of Supplemental Health) opens public consultation for the proposed Normative Resolution that will establish the principles for the offer. According to the Agency, the measure aims to reduce under-treatment of the diseases most prevalent in the population, such as diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure.
The NSA notes that Article 10 of Law 9656 allows the exclusion of offering home medication by health plans, which prevents the obligation of such coverage. Thus, the Agency is proposing are incentives for operators who offer this type of treatment.
"This is an important action both for operators and for the beneficiaries, since everyone may have access to continuity of care and reduce the possibility of complications," says the CEO of ANSMauricio Ceschin.
