If you have doubts about our Health Insurance in Spain you can solve them by consulting our frequently asked questions here.
What tests and services would cover me having a pre existing condition?
The existing pathologies of the client prior to the date of contracting the product are called preexistence.
The procedure is as follows:
- In case that the client has suffered something prior to hiring of the health insurance, he declares it.
- The health policy remains in pending status.
- An English speaking doctor will call the client to assess the pathology.
- Once evaluated, the client will be informed if any coverage is limited or if he is entitled to have 100% of the services.
- At that time the client can decide if he wants to continue or if he wants to reject the health insurance. There are no costs if the client decide to reject the health insurance.

If a doctor prescribes a test, what do I have to do? Do you have to authorize it? What happens if I get tested at a facility that is not in the medical chart? Is it refundable?
Sanitas plans that offers coverage inside the Sanitas network do not offer a guarantee of reimbursement of medical expenses, so you would have to perform the test within our medical network.
