Abstract

Purpose

The implementation of quality in health services should go beyond legal, regulatory and purely technical obligations in relation to carrying out health insurance practices. The purpose of this paper is to present a management model that intends to equip private health care companies in favor of quality development from the use of a model for forming a competitive strategy in the supplementary health sector companies.

It is based on prescriptive strategy – the five competitive forces and, with adaptive strategy, the competition arenas.

Findings

All of this development seeks to ensure the formation of policies, to guide strategic action in health insurance.
