Assim Saúde confirms negotiation for sale of the operator. Deal is estimated at R$ 300 million

oglobo15 September 2026 at 19:31

The Rio de Janeiro health insurance operator Assim is in the process of being sold to businessman Rafael Motta, founder of insurance broker Case and current president of the Brazilian arm of Gallagher Benefícios, an American multinational consulting and insurance brokerage firm. The operation is valued at R$ 300 million, plus R$ 500 million in debts of the operator that will be assumed by Motta.

In a statement, Assim Saúde confirmed to GLOBO the negotiations and stated that it "expects the opinion of regulatory bodies." The operation is being analyzed by the Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) on two fronts: the Directorate of Operator Licensing (Diop) evaluates the economic-financial details, and the Directorate of Standards and Product Licensing (Dipro) analyzes whether the new owner meets the required requirements.

Why this matters

The operation involves a significant change in leadership at the operator, with potential impact for its beneficiaries and employees. Readers who are clients of Assim Saúde or work in the supplementary health sector should follow the progress of the deal, as the transfer of control is conditioned on regulatory approval from ANS, which may affect the continuity and quality of services offered.
