rescisão

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care Health insurance
Hello,

I am not sure if I understand the word rescisão in this context

Se a rescisão decorrer de fraude ou infração das normas sanitárias e fiscais em vigor, no periodo de internação do beneficiário, fica garantida a sua imediata remoção para outro estabelecimento equivalente.

I thought that rescisão is rescission, that is the termination, so how is this related to fraude?

Thank you,

Patricia

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

rescission

Your idea is correct, it means termination. In case of "fraude" it is legal to terminate the agreement, for instance.

"Cleansheeting is an attractive option for dishonest operators in the viatical business. It not only provides a much larger number of insurance policies to viaticate, many more than would be available though legitimate means, it also provides a much higher rate of return because they can be bought from viators so cheaply. We have learned through testimony that in a legitimate viatical transaction, the viator usually receives 50%-70% of the face value of the policy. However, a "cleansheeted" policy viaticated during the contestable period may offer the viator as little as 10% of the face value because it carries a risk of rescission due to fraud."
