What suap it does

SUAP is an Argentine B2B software platform that digitizes healthcare administrative workflows between independent healthcare providers, their professional associations and colleges, and Obras Sociales/Prepagas (health insurers and prepaid health plans). Founded in October 2012 by Fe.Bi.Pa (Federación Bioquímica Argentina) and first deployed in June 2013 at the Colegio de Bioquímicos de Río Negro, the platform addresses a fragmented administrative landscape in which providers historically had to learn multiple incompatible systems, each with different criteria, from every insurer. SUAP serves approximately 3,000 active healthcare professionals — including biochemists, physicians, physiotherapists, dentists, and psychologists — and mediates more than 200,000 health services monthly with annual billing throughput of approximately ARS 6 billion across 20+ insurer agreements that include PAMI, OSDE, Swiss Medical, Galeno, Medife, Federada Salud, Sancor Salud, Ipross, and Unión Personal.
