This is an ecological study, with secondary data comingthe Integrated Inspection System. A trend analysis of the complaints received by the National Supplementary Health Agency of elderly beneficiariesall over Brazil was carried out2008 to 2017. A total of 111,497 complaints were made by the elderly beneficiaries of supplementary health. The highest number of complaints (27.07) and the highest average annual increase (7.79, r2 = 0, 97), and the South region, with the lowest average rate for the period (7.11) and the lowest observed mean annual increase (1.84; r2 = 0.92). The highest rate of complaints was related to the coverage of the plan, between the elderly of 70 to 79 years and beneficiaries of individual or family plans. Growing dissatisfaction among older people with the supplemental health system reflected the large number of complaints received by the National Supplementary Health Agency over nine years.
