In Brazil, health is part of the rights included in the Federal Constitution, but the number of people who use the unified health system is huge, which makes quality and efficient care impossible, hence the need to have a health plan, but how to have a health plan with a dirty name?

This is because, despite being a right guaranteed to citizens, it is not possible to take care of all of us, and hence the importance of having a health plan.

The fact is that, proportionally to the citizens who need the SUS, there are those who, despite being able to afford the plan, because they have the negative name.

So how to resolve this issue? That's what we'll talk about, and we'll even quote about the best health plans and how they work.

Why is it important to have a health plan?

As we said, Brazil has public health care services, considered one of the best in the world.

However, there is a huge number of Brazilians who need this service, and for a large demand, we have a reduced number of doctors.

That is, even though the services are provided with quality and efficiency, it is still not enough.

That is, it becomes necessary, for people who have financial conditions, to pay for a particular plan.

This is because, through a private health plan, the citizen will have the same health services but will be sure of the service.

It is sad to say that, today, public health care cannot give us this certainty, especially in the midst of the pandemic we are experiencing.

The fact is that health plans bring security, peace of mind, comfort and the certainty of support when you need it.

And, in addition, in addition to providing a vast network of accredited hospitals, they also take care of disease prevention and other treatments, as well as discounts on medicines.

Therefore, having a health plan is not a luxury, but, it can be said that in certain circumstances, a necessity.

Do I need to have a clean name to hire a health plan?

Initially, it is not necessary to have a name free of impediments to have a health plan.

This is because health plans accept anyone to register for the plan, which may be individual or family.

Or even, have the name negatived by credit protection agencies such as SPC and SERASA.

This is because insurers cannot use the interested party's old debts to bar access to the plan.

However, insurers are not obliged to maintain a relationship with customers if payments are not made.

That is, after hiring, if there are delays beyond what is accepted in the contract for that plan, the insurer has the right to request the cancellation of the health plan.

Therefore, insurers cannot use policyholders' old debts to deny requests.

What documents are required to purchase a health plan?

  • Proof of address.

Health plan dependents:

  • Personal documents with photo (CPF and RG);
  • Proof of address;
  • Wedding certificate. (spouses).

It is important to mention that other documents may be requested by insurers.
