## Basis
- [Decree No. 10.761/2021 (Planalto, in Portuguese)](https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2019-2022/2021/decreto/d10761.htm): Art. 13-A establishes that MTP and INSS will operate under mutual cooperation to enable Federal Medical Examination activities, with provisions for joint acts to regulate the process.

## How it applies
The mutual cooperation regime between MTP and INSS aims to enable Federal Medical Examination activities, as defined in Art. 13-A of Decree No. 10.761/2021. Cooperation includes performing administrative acts and adjustments between the two institutions, as provided in § 2º of the same article. The regime will be regulated by a joint act of the Minister of State for Labor and Social Security and the President of INSS, as established in § 1º.

## Limits
- The mutual cooperation regime depends on a joint act by the Minister of State for Labor and Social Security and the President of INSS for its regulation, as per § 1º of Art. 13-A.
- Cooperation covers only Federal Medical Examination activities and does not extend to other areas or competencies of MTP or INSS.
- The text does not specify operational details or concrete procedures for cooperation, only establishing the regime and the need for regulation.
- Subsequent changes should be checked on Planalto, especially regarding Decree No. 10.761/2021 and any subsequent joint acts.
- Law No. 13.146/2015 does not directly address cooperation between MTP and INSS for Federal Medical Examination, making it irrelevant to this topic.
