Cover & Services
Cover & Services of Sanitas Primero
The Sanitas Primero plan is a "pay as you go" plan and provides top quality medical assistance for a low price.
This plan offers a complete outpatient service (consultations, diagnostic tests and therapies) all at a reduced premium.
Surgical operations that do not require hospitalisation are also included in this policy (interventions of this kind represent approximately 44% of all surgical operations).
If you have a life threatening emergency then you are not required to contribute towards the costs. However, if hospitalisation is required for an elective hospital stay or surgery you will have to contribute to the cost of the service required. These services need to be authorised prior to the date of hospital admission.
The costs of these services vary depending on the type of service required and are divided into 3 categories:
LEVEL 1. €1000 Hospitalisation without surgical intervention.
LEVEL 2. €2000 Surgical operation e.g. caesarean birth.
LEVEL 3. €3000 Major surgical operations e.g. open heart operations.
You will need to know the corresponding level of service that you require when arranging your admission to hospital.
If you need to undergo more than one surgical procedure at the same time, you will be charged for the surgery that has been classified as the most critical.
Please note: the Sanitas Primero is NOT suitable for residency / N.I.E. or visa applications.
