Litigation over health plans should follow the downward trend seen in SUS

The number of lawsuits involving SUS is expected to fall in 2025 for the first time compared with 2024. Through October, the decline was 5.8% compared with last year, according to official CNJ data.

Sector managers attribute the result to the STF decisions of 2024, the same ones that now (since September) have a parallel in health plans.

In the private sector, litigation continues to rise, at 7.3% through October.

The expectation is that, with the decision in ADI 7265, the downward trend will also be repeated in supplementary health.

​​​​​​​In September, the STF decided that health plans must cover treatments outside the ANS List (Rol), but established five criteria: prescription by a qualified physician, absence of an express denial or a pending ANS decision, absence of an alternative in the List (Rol), scientific proof of efficacy and safety, and registration with Anvisa.
