Clinica Amigos de la Salud

What Clinica Amigos de la Salud does

Fundación Amigos de la Salud (operating as Clínica Amigos de la Salud) is a private non-profit Institución Prestadora de Servicios de Salud (IPS) headquartered in Montería, Córdoba, Colombia. The institution operates at the highest tiers of the Colombian healthcare complexity framework — Level 3 and 4 — and runs five care locations in the Montería metropolitan area with 667 operational beds, 144+ ICU beds, six or more operating rooms, and a workforce of 600+ collaborators including 136 medical specialists. Service lines span intensive and general hospitalization, psychiatric hospitalization (221 beds), specialized surgery, diagnostic imaging (1.5T MRI, multi-slice CT), a clinical laboratory handling 500,000+ exams annually, a burns unit, hemodynamics, endovascular neurosurgery, fetal medicine/perinatology, hand and plastic surgery, advanced urology, and the only renal dialysis unit in the Córdoba department.

Its clinical portfolio addresses tertiary and quaternary referral demand across the Caribbean region of Colombia, including burns and renal patients routed from across the department. The institution holds ISO 9001 certification and has been operating for more than 20 years. It functions as a regional referral hub for complex cases and serves a diversified payer base that includes virtually all major Colombian EPS (Sura, Sanitas, Nueva EPS, Compensar, Famisanar, Coosalud, Mutual Ser, Asmet Salud, Savia Salud, Capresoca), prepaid medicine plans (Colsanitas, Coomeva MP, Aliansalud, Cruz Blanca), ARL workers' compensation carriers (Positiva, Sura ARL, Colmena, Liberty), SOAT auto-related insurers, military health, and direct government contracts.

Revenue mechanics follow Colombia's regulated health-system architecture: a mix of capitation (per-capita UPC) contracts with EPS for affiliated populations under both contributivo and subsidiado regimes, fee-for-service billings under the SOAT/HCUIS tariff manual for events, accidents, and occupational risks, plus prepaid plan agreements. Annual throughput reaches 15,000+ surgeries and 500,000+ laboratory examinations. Leadership is anchored by María Cecilia Moreno Banda in the role of Representante Legal and Directora Ejecutiva. No public revenue disclosure is available; the entity is a non-profit foundation that reinvests surpluses into service expansion.

Revenue model

1. EPS Capitated and Fee-for-Service Contracts: The primary revenue stream comes from capitated per-capita payments and service fees billed through contractual agreements with EPS (Entidades Promotoras de Salud) across both contributive and subsidized regimes, as well as prepaid medicine plans, ARL (occupational risk insurers), and SOAT auto insurance. Revenue is a mix of per-member-per-month capitated budgets and itemized fee-for-service billing based on Colombia's SOAT tariff schedule and HCUIS (Manual de Actividades Intervencionistas).
2. Medical Services Fee-for-Service: Direct fee-for-service billing for uninsured patients and services not covered under EPS agreements, including outpatient consultations, diagnostic procedures, and specialized treatments.
