How to Request an Authorisation?
Does my test require authorisation?
Specialist consultations do not require authorisation from insurance company, however, there are some medical services when an authorisation is required. Some treatments, complex diagnostic tests, implants, transfers via ambulance and hospital admissions will require authorisation from all insurance companies.
How does the authorisation process work?
If there is a service that you believe you need and it requires authorisation, generally you cannot apply for it by yourself, you will need an assignment from the specialist. Best hospitals and clinics will ask for the authorisation on your behalf when the doctor will have determined that you need one. When the hospital will have arranged it, they will inform you by phone. In other cases, your doctor will provide you with the referral document (boletin) and you will have to use it to ask the authorisation yourself. Typically, authorizations are granted in 24/48-hour period.
How can I arrange the authorisation?
All insurers have a phone number where to call to arrange it and it is on the back of your insurance card. However, most insurers have additional means of getting it done.
