I’m not sure about any countries that allow untested drugs or treatments for conditions not covered by the insurance company.
I’m saying that in many countries, like Brazil, an insurance company can’t deny a treatment for a covered condition because it’s too expensive.
So, for example, if the insurance covers prostate cancer, the doctor can prescribe any medically proven prostate cancer treatment and the insurance company can’t say they’ll only pay for a cheaper treatment.
- mgraczyk 2y agoRight but that's not what happened in this case. In this case it wasn't "medically proven" in the right sense. I'm not an expert on Brazil but from what I just read these specific drugs would not be covered
