Authorization for surgery and hospitalization in private insurance

Surgery and admission are the cases where you do not improvise

ASISA confirms all surgery, including ambulatory, requires prior authorization. Adeslas publishes a 30-day general validity and longer windows for some waiting-list surgical cases.

Essential clinical information

Per surgical request: main diagnosis, planned procedure with code, indication and alternatives ruled out, professional, site, planned date, anaesthesia, estimated duration and need for admission.

How to coordinate operating room and authorization

Start the request early enough to have approval before booking surgery. Document urgency in writing when needed. Do not perform with an expired authorization unless a documented clinical decision exists.

How SaludComply protects these cases

SaludComply marks surgical cases with high priority and a watched validity window. When dates shift, it reminds the team to check expiry before confirming.
