STF rejects action against INSS medical expertises by telemedicine and documentary analysis

The Supreme Federal Court rejected, by majority vote in a virtual session, a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI 7949) that contested the performance of INSS medical expertises by telemedicine or documentary analysis through the Atestmed system. The action, presented by the National Association of Federal Medical Experts (ANMP), questioned the amendments to Laws 8.213/1991, 14.724/2023, and 15.265/2025 that allow the granting of benefits without an in-person examination. The entity argued that the change transformed the expert's work into simple verification of documents produced by the insured party. The STF considered the remote analysis of medical documentation for Social Security benefits purposes to be constitutional.
