Resumo: The present research aims to describe the profile of health promotion and risks/diseases prevention programs developed by 29 private healthcare providers in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive exploratory study that used data provided by the National Health Insurance Agency. In May 2008, private health insurance providers were sent a request for information on their health promotion and risks/diseases prevention programs. The programs profiles were characterized by distribution tables of absolute frequencies and /or by variables of interest. The risks/diseases prevention actions were performed by 41.4% of the providers. The diseases/health conditions more emphasized in adult and elderly clients were diabetes mellitus, hypertension, overweight/obesity, and healthy eating. Implementation of the programs decreased the number of examinations, consultations, emergency attendances, and healthcare costs. Up until now results can be considered positive. However the increase in the number of private health care providers offering such programs is needed as well as the integration of health actions plans, and the emphasis on health promotion.

Se trata de un estudio transversal, descriptivo exploratorio que utilizó datos enviados por la Agencia Nacional de Salud Suplementaria que, en mayo de 2008, solicitó a las operadoras que contestasen un cuestionario referente al desarrollo de programas de promoción de la salud y prevención de riesgo y enfermedades. El perfil de dichos programas se caracterizó por la presentación de tablas de distribución de frecuencias absolutas y/o relativas de las variables de interés. Un 41,4% de las operadoras llevó a cabo acciones de prevención de riesgo y enfermedades. Las enfermedades/situaciones de salud más destacadas para el adulto y para las personas mayores fueron diabetes mellitus, hipertensión, sobrepeso/obesidad y alimentación saludable. Con la implantación de los programas hubo reducción de los números de exámenes, consultas, atención de urgencia/emergencia y costos asistenciales. Por ahora, los resultados logrados pueden ser considerados positivos. Sin embargo, es necesario ampliar el número de operadoras que ofrecen programas, integrar las acciones desarrolladas y realzar la promoción de la salud.O objetivo com esta pesquisa foi descrever o perfil dos programas de promoção da saúde e prevenção de riscos e doenças desenvolvidos por 29 operadoras de planos privados de saúde de Belo Horizonte-MG.
