Crefito 13

What Crefito 13 does

CREFITO-13 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 13ª Região) is a Brazilian statutory regulatory body (autarquia) operating under the federal COFFITO/CREFITOs system. It regulates and supervises the professional practice of physiotherapy and occupational therapy throughout the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, holding exclusive legal authority to register professionals and establishments, credential practitioners, conduct field inspections, and enforce compliance with federal labor and professional regulations including the 30-hour work week limit under Law 8.856/1994. The Council serves individual practitioners (pessoa física) — physiotherapists and occupational therapists who must register to legally practice — and legal entities (pessoa jurídica) operating clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and public health entities offering these services, as well as engaging academic institutions and students in Mato Grosso do Sul.

CREFITO-13's core product is its digital services platform built on the Implanta .NET stack, providing an online portal (crefito-13.implanta.net.br) where professionals can complete pre-registration, manage annual memberships, issue documents, validate credentials, file complaints, and track administrative protocols 24/7. The platform is supplemented by in-person service at the Campo Grande headquarters, postal mail submission, and a WhatsApp-based Núcleo de Atendimento e Direcionamento (NAD). Field fiscalization is conducted by the Department of Fiscalização (DEFIS) using a recently renewed vehicle fleet to reach all 79 municipalities of the state. The Council also operates a public Transparency Portal, publishes institutional communications, and runs professional development events such as the annual Pilates Summit.

The Council's revenue model rests almost entirely on mandatory annual membership fees (anuidades) set by COFFITO Resolution No. 635/2025 at R$ 432.75 (early-bird) to R$ 577.00 (full) for 2026, with structured discount tiers for senior professionals, subsidiaries, and SLU/Empresário Individual registrations, plus one-time registration and administrative service fees. As a government autarquia, CREFITO-13 has no shareholders, no private capital, and no fundraising activity; its budget is derived from regulated fees, it reports through a Transparency Portal, and its operational leadership rests with President Dr. Renato Nacer.
