Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of a study aimed at analyzing the variables that impacted value creation in Brazilian private healthcare providers (OPS) under the Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) regulation in the period comprising 2010 and 2016. The employed sample consisted of healthcare OPS whose 2010-2016 data are publicly available on the ANS website. Data analysis followed these techniques: content analysis, descriptive statistics, and data panel regression. Regarding investment decisions focused on value creation, it has been found that OPS often create more value than destroy it (except for organizations in the Philanthropy modality). We can conclude that the ANS rules affected the different provider modalities in various ways, with respect to value creation (linked to investment decisions). Almost all regulatory variables were significant in different contexts and varied depending on the modality of OPS. This demonstrates the relevance of considering the specificities of each of them in the analyzes. The presented discussion can support decisions for regulators and organizations' decision-makers due to verification that the regulation of ANS over the OPS creating/destroying value in Brazilian providers. One can say that regulation can develops an oligopoly in this sector and/or creating opportunities for creating value for the organizations. Keywords: Private healthcare providers (OPS). Supplementary Health Agency (ANS). Value creation. Regulation. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo que teve como objetivo analisar as variáveis que influenciaram a criação de valor nas operadoras de planos de saúde (OPS) brasileiras, sob perspectiva da regulação da Agência de Saúde Suplementar (ANS), no período de 2010 a 2016. A amostra empregada foi composta por OPS médico-hospitalares cujos dados estavam disponíveis publicamente no site da ANS. A análise dos dados empregou as seguintes técnicas: análise de conteúdo, estatística descritiva e análise de regressão com dados em painel. Com relação às decisões de investimento, com foco na criação de valor, constatou-se que as OPS usualmente criaram mais valor do que destruíram (exceto no caso das organizações da modalidade Filantropia). Pode-se concluir que as regras da ANS afetaram as diferentes modalidades de operadoras de várias formas, no que diz respeito à criação de valor. Quase todas as variáveis regulatórias foram significantes em diferentes contextos e variaram dependendo da modalidade de OPS. I
