The family of retired Francesca das Chagas Pereira, 78, passed through three hospitals in Teresina in search of emergency care for a retired woman, but they were unable to do so. Her daughter claims that the truth only happened because the mother’s health plan is Iaspi Health of the Institute of Private Assistance and Welfare in Piaui State. The agency denies and justifies the high demand for patients due to arthropod-borne viruses that crowded health units in the capital.
“I have been to three hospitals, I am in the third hospital here and they said they are not attending, and that there is no vacancy, simply because it is Iapep (the current Iaspi). There is a vacancy, yes, but they are no” I don’t want to attend because Iapep. I ask someone to take action My mother has given her entire life to this health plan and has refused hospitals. And she’s feeling sick in the car, what do I do?”, her daughter said this Thursday morning (28).

In addition to Francesca, another user also complained about the care at a hospital that the retiree’s family visited. Flavia Nascimento said that when she got to the place, they told her there was no vacancy, and then said it meant the state plan system was broken. “The user is not guilty, because it is deducted from the payroll. A patient from another plan arrived, was treated and hospitalized,” he explained.
The g 1 I called HTI Sul Hospital and was informed that Iaspi plan patients are receiving treatment as requested and because it is high, this service is taking a long time. The hospital unit also said there was no longer any vacancy in the hospital for any kind of plans.
In a memo, Yaspe stated that she had checked the hospitals, visited by retiree Francesca Pereira, for no refusal of care, but was told there was no vacancy for treatment at the hospital. The institute states that it places priority on hospitals on a first-come, first-served basis, without restrictions by type of agreement.
“The IASPI administration also confirms that there is no shortage of service under the IASPI scheme, since the payment to the network is up-to-date, but the large number of cases is overwhelmed by all hospitals that are struggling to meet the demand.”
Check out the full note:
The Institute of Health Care for Public Employees of the State of Piauí (IASPI) through Santa Maria Hospitals, HTI Sul and the case of Mrs. Francisca das Chagas Pereira, 78, investigated the case, explaining that there had been no refusal of emergency care, but informed the family that there was no place for treatment in the hospital.
IASPI charges hospitals for care according to priorities and order of access, without restrictions by type of agreement. However, hospitals report that they are operating at maximum limit. HTI even reported that it had 104 beds in an apartment, 30 in the intensive care unit and opened two more rooms for observation, even using the endoscopy space to treat emergency patients.
Hospitals are also facing difficulty in providing saline solution and are postponing some elective surgeries, such as neurosurgery, to provide beds for recovery from dengue fever, chikungunya and other diseases that crowd health units.
IASPI regrets the situation, but confirms that emergency treatment is not refused, and what is not available is the availability of a place for hospitalization, and the institute is following up cases, notifying hospitals and searching for solutions so that they can expand the service. And the number of difference.
In the special case of Ms. Francesca das Chagas, we are in contact with the hospital to see if she has already been treated. The management of IASPI also assures that there is no shortage of service under the IASPI scheme, given that network payments are up-to-date, but the large number of cases is overwhelmed by all hospitals that are struggling to meet the demand.
