Nueva EPS

Nueva EPS is the largest government-backed health insurance provider in Colombia, covering over 10 million members. It operates within the Colombian public healthcare system as an intermediary that manages mandatory health plans and contracts with healthcare providers for service delivery[4][6]. The company has recently received regulatory support to negotiate pharmaceutical purchases jointly with other entities to improve cost efficiency[1][7]. In April 2024, the Colombian regulator assumed temporary administrative control of Nueva EPS to ensure compliance with financial obligations and payment processes. This intervention was preventive and did not affect ongoing operations or payments to providers[4]. The company plays a critical role in Colombia’s publicly funded healthcare system by channeling funds from the national pool (ADRES) to private healthcare service providers[4]. There are no clinical results or drug development activities associated with this entity.
