Consensus between agencies
To improve the protocol and comply with the TCU’s decision, the federal government held meetings with the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) and the National Association of Occupational Medicine (Anamt).
In a note, the folder stated that, “There was consensus among the agencies on the need to promote adjustments to the protocol formalized by the Secretariat of the Federal Medical Examination and the INSS on October 7, especially with regard to the work of the occupational physician. . “
CFM and Anamt, initially, had opposed the procedure when they understood that it was necessary to perform a clinical physical examination on the expert, in order to make the diagnosis and evaluate the ability to work.
This is because CFM Opinion 18/2020 determines that “the doctor is prohibited from performing the expert examination without a direct examination by the expert or its replacement by simplified technical evidence.” However, the entities reported that they worked on the roadmap of procedures to be followed in the tele-appraisal, as well as on the preparation of the medical report model for the referral of the worker who went through the appraisal.
