On November 7th, the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) released its new list, a new list of procedures that must be covered by health plans as of January 2nd, 2018. In total, 18 procedures were performed. added, among exams, therapies and surgeries.<\/p>\n
Below is a list of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging procedures and changes in Technical Use Guidelines (DUTs):<\/p>\n
\u2013 Arterial magnetic resonance angiography of the lower limb (with DUT): non-invasive imaging exam performed in magnetic resonance equipment to analyze the arteries of the lower limbs;<\/p>\n
\u2013 Arterial computed tomography angiography of the lower limb (with DUT): non-invasive imaging exam performed using computed tomography to analyze the arteries of the lower limbs;<\/p>\n
\u2013 Ultrasonic liver elastography (with DUT): imaging test for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis;<\/p>\n
\u2013 Magnetic resonance imaging with CSF flow (with DUT): non-invasive diagnostic test to assess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow;<\/p>\n
\u2013 Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma: a procedure guided by imaging methods that uses special needles to cause cell damage by thermal action to benign bone tumor cells.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Expansion of coverage with change in DUT<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Oncological PET\/CT with somatostatin analogues for patients with neuroendocrine tumors;<\/p>\n \u2013 Optical coherence tomography (with guidelines for use) in patients undergoing ocular chemotherapy treatment with diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion (CVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inclusion of DUT restricting coverage<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Cerebral perfusion scintigraphy for evaluation of dopamine transporters \u2013 DUT (When used for evaluation of dopamine transporters, it will have mandatory coverage for adult patients with tremors when Parkinsonism cannot be clinically differentiated from essential tremor after evaluation by a medical professional specialized in neurology) .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source:<\/strong> ANS<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On November 7th, the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) released its new list, a new list of procedures that must be covered by health plans as of January 2nd, 2018.
