Brasília – In a recent interview, ANS President Wadih Damous affirmed that the agency is ready to impose regulation on private health plans if negotiation fails to ensure balance in the sector. He emphasized that regulation does not inherently mean imposition, but signaled that the regulatory agency will act decisively if required.

Damous pointed out structural imbalances in the health-plan market, especially in collective contracts, and called for reviving the individual/family product segment. He indicated that ANS aims to convene stakeholders to discuss pricing, coverage, and risk sharing. If consensus is not reached in these dialogues, the agency will use its regulatory powers to correct distortions.
