Objective: to analyze the situational profile of value blocks resulting from non-compliance with health care court decisions in the State of Santa Catarina. Methods: re considered the processes with determination of blockage in the accounts of the State of Santa Catarina, in December 2015 and December 2016, in which the authors requested drugs, inputs and nutrition. Results: most actions are filed individually and by private law firms. Medicines were the most requested object, mostly prescribed by trade name and not standardized on official lists in more than 70% of cases. In 2015, the monthly expense was R$ 135,549.39, and if the State had made the acquisition, the monthly expense would be R$ 82,016.29. In December 2016, the cost of blocking was R $ 833,634.88, while through administrative purchase would be R $ 447,357.68. There was a growth of 858.82% in spending on blockages, from 2015 to 2016. Conclusions: the results obtained can contribute to better planning compliance with health court decisions, avoiding that they do not burden the public coffers even more and undermine the public health budget.
