tbh i've only visited, never lived there, but from what i sorted out on a trip you can usually book a private consult directly, no referral needed for something like thyroid. expect maybe 300 to 600 reais depending on the specialist. most places want payment upfront and you claim on insurance later, so keep every receipt. public route (SUS) is free but slow, so private prob makes more sense for ongoing stuff.

yeah and for an ongoing thyroid thing look at a hospital like Sírio-Libanês or Einstein, they do direct bookings and keep your records if u go back

unimed accepts direct billing at some clinics, worth checking

just keep every receipt and get a nota fiscal, otherwise reimbursement gets messy

makes sense, though fwiw some places let u pay by Pix on the spot which is faster than card
