Due to Emergency Room Treatment
Explanation:
I realize I'm coming very late into this discussion, but "razão atendimento" puzzles me also. May I put the phrase in a different light? I found one hit in Google:

http://www.riachuelo.com.br/servicos_financeiros_assistencia...

Here the context is the conditions under which insured members are reimbursed for medical expenses, and one case is "por razão de atendimento de emergências," etc. Without a context, it is difficult to say what the correct translation could be. My first thought was, "razão=rácio, índice, nível de" atendimento (some sort of statistics), but it doesn't seem reasonable. If the list is of services for which benefits are paid, one item could be "due to Emergency Room Treatment." For what it's worth...

Emergency Unit


Explanation:
UPA stands for "Unidade de Pronto Atendimento", which in English would be an Emergency Unit.

Check the rest of the sentence/paragraph where this phrase appears, and you will know how to fit it in.

Atendimento UPA is pretty much redundant, since UPA already contains the word "atendimento"...

But that is something that you will decide according to the context.
