Abstract:

This paper aimed to describe health insurance coverage in Brazil. Datathe 2013 and 2019 editions of the National Health Survey were analyzed. The coverage of the medical or dental health plan was analyzed according to sociodemographic and economic characteristics, work, urban or rural area and Federation Unit. The coverage of medical or dental health plans was 27.9% (95% CI: 27.1-28.8) for 2013 and 28.5% (95% CI: 27.8-29.2) for 2019. The results show that coverage continues to be concentrated in large urban centers, in the Southeast and South, among those with better socioeconomic status and those who have some formal employment. In 2019, among formal workers, only 30.7% reported that the monthly payment is made directly to the operator, with 72.7% among informal workers. About 92% of medical health plans cover hospitalization and among women with health insurance, almost 20% of them do not have delivery coverage. Only 11.7% of women aged between 15 and 44 years have coverage for childbirth through the health plan. The results show that the coverage by health plan is still quite unequal, reinforcing the importance of the Public Health System for the Brazilian population.
