Brazil's CADE enforces measures on healthcare entities over fees, discounts

( March 7, 2025, 15:10 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The investigative body of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense, or CADE, has imposed two preventive measures on entities within the healthcare market. In the first decision, the Sociedade de Médicos Cardiovasculares do Maranhão (Cardiovasc-MA) is prohibited from applying the medical fee schedule in a cardiologist segment, as well as from creating new schedules or documents with similar effects. Additionally, the requirement for exclusivity of doctors must be suspended. In the second case, the Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO) and 24 regional odontology boards have been ordered to remove any posts from their social media that associate the granting of discounts on dental services with illegal activities or unethical conduct. These institutions are also prohibited from creating any additional content of this nature. In case of non-compliance, the organizations can be fined up to 50,000 reais ($8,600) per day each.Read the statement in Portuguese:...
