Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Savia receives government-regulated UPC (Unidad de Pago por Capitación) capitation payments from ADRES for subsidized affiliates, monthly cotizaciones of 12% of salary (8% employer / 4% worker) for contributory affiliates, and copagos / cuotas moderadoras from members. Pricing and benefit design are set annually by MinSalud, and the company is subject to financial audits by the Contraloría General de Antioquia.

Direct peers

• Famisanar EPS: Famisanar is a Colombian EPS serving Bogotá and surrounding areas in both regimes. Comparable as a dual-regime EPS under SGSSS, though with a primarily Bogotá-centric geographic footprint similar to Savia Salud's Antioquia focus.
• Salud Total EPS: Salud Total EPS is a Colombian EPS operating primarily in contributory and subsidized regimes. Directly comparable as a private Colombian EPS with similar service offering and regulatory exposure under SGSSS.
• EPS Sura: EPS Sura is one of the largest private Colombian EPSs, operating across both subsidized and contributory regimes nationally. Directly comparable to Savia Salud in business model (EPS / health plan administrator), regulatory environment, and dual-regime revenue mix, though Sura operates at significantly larger national scale.
• Coomeva EPS: Coomeva EPS is a cooperative-affiliated Colombian EPS that has experienced financial stress and partial restructuring. Same dual-regime business model and SGSSS regulatory environment; useful comparable for sector distress scenarios affecting Savia Salud.
• Sanitas EPS: Sanitas EPS is a major Colombian EPS operating in subsidized and contributory regimes nationwide. Same business model and SGSSS regulatory framework as Savia Salud; Sanitas has recently undergone government intervention due to financial stress, illustrating the sector risk Savia Salud also faces.
• Nueva EPS: Nueva EPS is the largest Colombian EPS by membership and is state-owned. Directly comparable as a dual-regime EPS under SGSSS; Nueva EPS has also faced Supersalud intervention, making it a key regulatory and operational reference point for Savia Salud.

Regional players

• AIC EPS (Asistencia Integral Colombia): AIC EPS is a Colombian EPS focused on the subsidized regime with regional presence. Comparable to Savia Salud in business model and target population, particularly for the subsidized segment of Savia Salud's membership.

Others

• ADRES (Administradora de los Recursos del SGSSS): ADRES is the government entity that administers health system finances and disburses UPC capitation payments to EPSs like Savia Salud. While not a competitor, ADRES is the central counterparty / payer for Savia Salud's subsidized revenue and shapes regulatory economics of the EPS business model.
