The São Paulo Court blocked R $ 33 million to fund the treatment of a 7 -year -old

The decision was issued on February 11, and may appeal it.

The medication for this rare syndrome costs around R $ 17 million – the final treatment, the excess value should be returned to Bradesco Saúde.

The plan had refused to provide the Elevidys remedy, a single dose injection that acts as a genetic therapy, on the grounds that medication was not part of the ANS (National Health Agency) list and had excessively high cost.

The decision may open precedents for patients who need Elevidys.

Viviane Guimarães, the patient’s lawyer, said that health plans cannot deny coverage to treatments considered essential for survival and quality of life.

“This sentence inaugurates a new understanding of the responsibility of health plans and can benefit other patients in similar situations,” says Viviane.

In a statement, Bradesco Saúde says that “does not comment on cases taken to the judiciary.”
