It books on your calendar and confirms the appointment on WhatsApp, with the instructions. 4. The day before, it sends a reminder; if they can't make it, it reschedules and offers the slot to the waiting list. ## What each one is - Health insurer (EPS) in the subsidized and contributory regimes ### Coosalud EPS Coosalud EPS is a health insurer (EPS) with its national office in Cartagena de Indias. 90.3% of its members are in the subsidized regime, spread mainly across Valle del Cauca, Antioquia, Norte de Santander, Bolívar, Santander and Atlántico.
