The company sells individual (adesão) and corporate (empresarial) health plans to consumers and businesses in Maringá, Cascavel, and Sarandi, anchored by a credentialed provider network of 30+ hospitals, 400+ physicians, and 100+ diagnostic and therapy clinics in Paraná state.

Underlying technology is a traditional regional health-insurance platform: a credentialed provider network, an in-house pricing and underwriting catalog (August 2024 price tables published), a beneficiary mobile application (Aplicativo PAM Saúde) for appointment scheduling and account management, a Telemedicina PAM Saúde remote consultation service, and ABRAMGE-backed national urgency/emergency coverage for beneficiaries in transit. Distribution runs almost entirely through direct WhatsApp contact, website quote requests, and on-site corporate engagement including SIPAT workplace wellness events. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly premiums (R$129–R$162 per beneficiary across plans) plus coparticipation fees on consultations, exams, and therapies under ANS-regulated registrations 472.750/14-9, 455.142/06-7, and 482.317/19-6.
