MEDSiS works with Unisaúde to provide affordable healthcare in Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unisaúde, one of the largest emerging providers of direct discounted health services in Brazil, has announced the launch of a dedicated payment card for health services that caters to the middle and upper class individuals affected by the exorbitantly high healthcare costs.

The aim is to provide a prepaid, reloadable debit card solution to all members that manages benefits, consultations, hospital care, medications, and even veterinary services. The project will provide cost-effective benefits to members, while facilitating scheduling and payments throughout Brazil.

One driving factor for this program is the unusually low reimbursement rates to healthcare providers and pharmacies through the standard insurance companies.

Jose Carlos Carvahlo, CEO, Director, and visionary of the Unisaude program expressed his excitement, “I am very happy with the partnership between UNISAÚDE and MEDSIS. I am sure that this partnership will strengthen the Brazilian healthcare market.”

Medsis will merge all existing database systems into one unified civilian record using their database technology, CEREBRO, while WAIV will be the financial bridge between Unisaúde and the local Brazilian Bank to create accounts enabling network branded debit cards for Unisaude’s members to securely pay for services or medications and access benefits, as well as maximize their savings.

Dax Cabrera, the founder of Medsis, said, “Medsis is excited to partner with Unisaúde to transform the existing system, in order to provide the services and solutions for a healthier tomorrow..”
