ANS approves exceptional regulatory measures in Minas Gerais

Among the approved measures is an extension, by 10 business days, of the deadline for operators to respond to complaints registered with ANS through the Preliminary Intermediation Notice (NIP). The extension applies only to cases that were already in “awaiting operator response” status on February 24, 2026, the date of the calamity decree, or after that date.

The deadline for health plan operators to voluntarily resolve cases in the remediation phase was also extended by another 10 business days; this is the stage at which the reported failure can be corrected and the imposition of a penalty avoided. Unlike the response to the NIP, which consists of the operator’s formal statement on the complaint, the voluntary remediation phase requires the effective resolution of the problem presented by the beneficiary.
