Medical Provider Network by Sanitas

Having an extensive medical network allows customers access to a range of medical care facilities, increased options for specialized care and often improved quality and coordination of care. When insurers negotiate contracts with medical providers, they must ensure their quality standards, such as accreditation from recognized institutions, are met, which can give insureds peace of mind in the selection of a facility. Additionally, the larger the medical network, the more convenient for individuals who may not need to travel as far to receive the care they need. Furthermore, a larger network can offer more options for specialized care, such as cardiology, oncology or neurology. This can be particularly important for patients with complex or chronic medical conditions, who require specialized care from several areas of expertise, and benefit from synchronized systems. Financially, an extensive network could also lead to lower out-of-pocket costs, depending on the market, as insurers may negotiate rates with medical providers.

For more than 60 years, Sanitas has been dedicated exclusively to healthcare and is the leading company in Spain by number of private patients and number of companies insured. Today, Sanitas is the private hospital group with the highest percentage of quality certifications. With more than 49,000 medical professionals and 4,400 medical centers, including the most important in the country, Sanitas also has 1,200 appointed care centers that policyholders can access.

In order to offer a revolutionary and quality healthcare service, Sanitas continues to reinvests all profits in building new hospitals and medical centers, renovating existing ones, and ensuring the institutions are equipped with the latest health equipment and technology.
