Hospital Next Butantã

What Hospital Next Butantã does

Hospital e Maternidade Metropolitano is a private, high-complexity general hospital with an integrated maternity unit located in the West Zone of São Paulo, Brazil, at Rua Marcelina 441, Vila Romana. Founded in 1945 as Maternidade da Lapa and operating under the current name since joining Grupo Amil (a UnitedHealth Group company) in 2008, the facility provides care across more than 40 medical specialties, supported by 10 surgical rooms, three intensive care units (adult, pediatric, and neonatal), a 24-hour emergency department, a hemodynamics catheterization lab for invasive cardiology/neurology/vascular procedures, and a robotic surgery-equipped surgical center. A nearby Centro Médico outpatient clinic and a second satellite medical center (Centro Médico Tito) extend the ambulatory footprint, while a consolidated Medicina Diagnóstica unit offers angioMRI, angiotomography, sedation MRI, cardiac catheterization, colonoscopy, and endoscopy. The hospital operates an Orthopedics Center of Excellence with eight subspecialties spanning trauma to rehabilitation, and a full maternity service with neonatal ICU and on-site birth registration.

The business model is predominantly B2C-via-payer: the primary revenue stream is reimbursement from accredited health insurance plans (convênios), with more than 40 national and international insurers credentialed including Amil, Bradesco Saúde, SulAmérica, Unimed, Porto Seguro, and Notredame Intermédica. A secondary private-pay (particular) stream serves uninsured patients and elective procedures. The hospital holds ONA Level 3 – Acreditado com Excelência accreditation and the UTI Top Performer certification for its General ICU, and operates a sustainability program (Metro Sustentável) with environmental certifications. Go-to-market is multi-channel: online scheduling via the Total Care platform, WhatsApp booking, telephone scheduling, and referrals from insurance provider networks and partner physicians.

The hospital is a subsidiary within Grupo Amil, itself owned by UnitedHealth Group, which functions as both parent and anchor distribution channel. Its operating geography is concentrated in São Paulo's West Zone with no disclosed expansion beyond that catchment, and its technological footprint centers on a hospital information management system rather than AI-driven or platform-based differentiation. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no external funding history, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a larger corporate parent.
