Hi Shawn, In a previous comment I posted that my husband has Sanitas. Untill now good experiences. Hardly no waiting lists for consults with specialists in Private Hospitals. The only thing is that they raise every year with a couple of euros the monthly insurance payment.
Cheers, Christa
my son a newcomer to spain insured himself and wife with sanitas,finding it a little expensive they canceled the insurance,by letting it run out and informing the company regardless of this sanitas removed over 2000 euros from my sons bank account ,after contacting the bank it was re,embursed then taken out again,sanitas put on a solicitor.and demanded the monet although my son explained that he had changed the company .he had to pay a full years insurance alongside the new company ,myself personally i have doubts about insuring with sanitas,but thats only my personal opinion,
Hi the Linedancer comments sound typical of the problems with trying to cancel insurnce contracts without doing it formally. I had one hell of a fight with MAPFRE about cancelling because I told them a few days before the policy was due to expire and they were adamant that I had to give them at least teo months notice etc.
In general though most people who have mentioned Sanitas to me seem to have generally positive experiences.
Fortunately I've had 28 years with the Spanish Health System ,and to me can't find fault with it. My wife was in hospital for six weeks with EMPHERSIMIA i just had a hernia and catarach ops both sent to private hospitals,,but there again we may find that others have had not so good.results.it depends on the luck of the draw,andof cos insurance rates will go up as you grow progressibly older this ive explained to my son,at 83 years old i dont expect to be around too long but gonna enjoy every bloody moment whats left
I am member of the OCU (Organisation of Consumers and Users - Organización de Consumidores y Usuarios).
All these issues with Insurance companies, Telephone providers and in many more issues they can be of a great help. Relatively a small monthly quote of about 15eur. They were great in helping me with a rental conflict and also telephonebill problems which I already cancelled but they kept on charching me. (more or less same problems as described with Mapfre by Culebronchris).
I took out sanitas health care plan 10 years ago, after my husband died. As my Uk medical cover had not been transferred.I'd like to hear anyone's experience with Sanitas Health Insurance, good or bad.
