Brasília – The National Congress approved Provisional Measure 1,301/2025, creating the Agora Tem Especialistas program, which aims to accelerate access to specialist consultations, diagnostics, and elective surgeries in partnerships with private providers under the SUS.

The MP allows private hospitals and clinics (for- or non-profit) to voluntarily register with the program. In exchange, they may receive tax credits and other fiscal incentives for services provided to SUS users.

In one key innovation, the MP enables debt swaps: private hospitals and health insurers could offset federal tax liabilities by offering services to SUS patients.

The measure is valid until December 31, 2030. Though services may begin this year, the tax deductions and credits become effective starting 2026.
