Portuguese term or phrase: Modalidade [subdivisão do ramo de seguros]
"Modalidade: E a subdivisão do ramo de seguros para as quais são aplicadas certas condições e regras tarifárias."

This is under Definitions Clause of an commercial insurance policy and I'm not clear on the use of "modalidade" accompanied by the definition given in the above text.... "Insurance modality"?

Alternative: type of insurance (subdivision of the insurance sector).
("modality" would be unidiomatic in English, and misleading as well.)

"Modality" is incorrect, in my strong opinion as an insurance student and translator. Just to be sure, I looked through dozens of the Google hits and none of them was in point.
