Brazilians are looking for practical and economical solutions to get out of the tiring SUS queue
We all recognize the importance of having a health plan, however, often the reality is completely different than expected. With medical insurance costs so high and companies offering fewer and fewer benefits like business plans, what can you do?
In a survey conducted in 2019 by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), 71.5% of the population did not have hospital-medical plans or any complementary health services. During the pandemic, an estimated 327,000 people stopped using health plans, according to data from the National Supplementary Health Agency.
Currently, with 55 million health plan users, there is a need to improve this type of service as a way to attract Brazilians to consume it again.
According to Iuri Leite, founder of Secure cardmulti-service card, “during the pandemic, support for the health of the population was needed, but the reality of unemployment and financial difficulties due to the political and economic situation in the country, has forced many Brazilians to cancel their plans and leave for other options “.
Brazilians are looking for alternatives to health plans
They readjusted by 12% in the first quarter of the year, following a fourth consecutive quarter of high prices. As a result, Brazilians are turning to new alternatives for easy access to healthcare.
In recent years, as one of the main alternatives related to the public system and medical insurance, we have had a plan to increase and spread.
The benefit card is another option for those looking for an alternative that allows for private consultations and exams at reduced prices.
The emergency reserve for things related to health is another alternative that the Brazilians have adopted. After times of pandemic crisis and loss of health plan users save money specifically to use for visits, exams and other hospital expenses.
It is necessary that citizens are willing to bear the costs in case of an emergency, knowing the risk that can occur if it is necessary to perform surgeries that usually have a high value.
