Oncology and chemotherapy authorization in private insurance
Oncology is the case where authorization affects the patient’s life
ASISA publishes that all oncology treatments require prior authorization. MAPFRE mentions special cardiology and oncology treatments among authorizable services.
Clinical and administrative information needed
Per patient: oncological diagnosis with code, planned protocol, drugs and dosing, planned cycles, professional, site, start date, inpatient or outpatient setting and follow-up plan.
How to coordinate treatment and authorization
Start the request with enough margin before cycle one. Request authorization for the whole protocol, not each individual act. Keep the authorization number linked to every billed cycle.
How SaludComply handles these cases
SaludComply marks oncology cases as high clinical priority and prepares requests and tracking per cycle. If a protocol change needs a new authorization, the system queues it for medical and admin review.
