Influencer dies waiting for a place in the ICU of a health plan in SP

Diego’s wife, Bruna Martins, says that Unimed claimed there was no vacancy in the private network. Furthermore, the company also informed that the influencer’s agreement had a grace period, that is, a period in which the beneficiary must wait to use the services covered by the plan.

I called myself to confirm that he had a need and could not be admitted. But given his condition, he had to be hospitalized. This particular hospitalization would only be while waiting for a bed in the SUS (Unified Health System) ICU, which never appeared. Bruna on TV Globo

Bruna reported that one of the doctors reassured them that the condition was not serious.. ”On Monday, we were going to move into our new apartment. We were ready to move. I lost the love of my life,” he said on Instagram.

The City of São José mourned Diego’s death. To the Facto Newsthe municipal management stated that, in cases of emergency, the health insurance company must be responsible for the treatment, ”regardless of the vacancy in the SUS or the plan having a shortage”.

What Unimed says

The agreement states that the patient received all necessary assistance. According to a note sent to the Facto Newsthe service would have been provided ”with the application of appropriate protocols by the medical and professional team”.
