Brasília - For physicians may charge an additional fee for delivery, health plan operators should change the contracts with obstetricians. It is what determines opinion released today (16) by the National Health Agency (ANS).
The NSA believes that operators should reshape health plan contracts with physicians making clear the service for which the professional is hired, prenatal or antenatal and childbirth, and should make this information clear to the beneficiaries.
The agency alleges that the beneficiaries of health plans are entitled to all obstetric procedures of segmentation described in List of Procedures and Events in Health, which determines the minimum mandatory coverage of health care in private plans at no expense beyond the provisions contract.
In November 2012, the Federal Board of Medicine issued an opinion in which it considers the ethical obstetrician charge for monitoring of labor in patients who are beneficiaries of health plans. The council argues that professionals receive only insured by the queries and the procedure of childbirth, not by tracking delivery. For advice if the patient does not want to pay this amount, it can make your birth with a physician on duty.
The council provides for the monitoring of delivery may be closed between doctor and patient at the first visit, in which the professional must show the patient that the health plan ensures coverage obstetrics, but does not give you the right to make delivery of the same obstetrician who made prenatally.
