The National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) announced the extrajudicial liquidation of the Golden Cross Health Operator, also known as Vision Med Medical Assistance.
The decision, approved at a meeting of the ANS Collegiate Board last Monday (12), was motivated by “serious economic and administrative abnormalities” that compromise the continuity and quality of service to beneficiaries.
With this measure, the agency seeks to protect users and ensure that they can migrate to health plans that ensure proper care.
Golden Cross beneficiaries now have a period of 60 days, starting this Tuesday (13), to perform the special portability of needs to another health operator.
This decision is crucial, since until May 7, about 53,000 users were still linked to Golden Cross business plans.
ANS emphasizes the importance of this portability so that the beneficiaries are not helpless during the operator’s settlement process.

The settlement implies the appointment of a liquidator that will be responsible for supervising the closure of Golden Cross activities.
With this, the current administrators and members of the Fiscal Council will lose their mandates, marking the end of the company’s operations.
Jorge Aquino, director of NSS rules and qualification, had previously warned that Golden Cross was unable to continue operating, which was a significant risk to the health supplier chain.
