Resumo

a regulamentação dos preços dos planos individuais de saúde caRloS ocTÁVIo ocké-ReIS* SImoNe De Souza caRDoSo Pricing regulation of Brazilian private health insurance.Aggregate price indices measure variations in nominal prices.In this paper, we compare the inflation rates of the general economy and those of the health sector and private health insurance market between 2001 and 2005, based on the indices of Departamento Intersindical de Estatística e Estudos Socioeconômicos, of Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas, of Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística and IPEADATA database, to the private health insurance readjustment applied by the National Private Health Insurance Agency (ANS).The health sector inflation rate was found stable and inferior to the general one, what would validate applying lower readjustments derived from official price indices.
