ASISA prior authorization for clinics: referral, LINCE and denials
What is verified about ASISA
ASISA publishes a broad list of services requiring authorization: hospital admissions, surgery, oncology, complex diagnostic tests, endoscopy, psychotherapy, respiratory therapies and other treatments. It also confirms ambulatory surgery requires prior authorization.
Service Request form and identifier number
ASISA says the insured member should have the Service Request form, physical or digital, with the prescribed service and the identifier number. For a clinic, that number should live next to patient, act, date, status and invoice.
ASISA denials: published reasons
ASISA publishes several denial reasons: service not covered, waiting period not completed, prescriber not authorized, or premium arrears. This helps clinics separate document problems from coverage problems.
LINCE and the limit of public information
ASISA’s professional portal and LINCE app are verified as activity and billing systems for professionals. Public sources do not confirm the full authorization request workflow inside LINCE for a clinic.
Frequently asked questions
- Which services require prior authorisation with ASISA?
- ASISA publishes a list of services that require authorisation: admissions, surgery, oncology, complex diagnostic tests, endoscopies, psychotherapy and respiratory therapies. A Service Request Form with an identifier number is issued for each request. The agent classifies the procedure before starting the workflow and asks for human validation when in doubt.
- What channels does ASISA offer to process authorisations?
- ASISA operates through the profesional.asisa.es portal and the LINCE app. Both channels issue the Service Request Form with an identifier and allow tracking. SaludComply selects the channel based on the request type and presents the submission for human approval before any send.
- Why does ASISA deny an authorisation?
- ASISA publishes four common denial reasons: service not included in the policy, waiting period not met, prescriber not authorised and policy with outstanding payments. The agent checks these points during preparation and alerts the team before submission. Detailed clinical reasons depend on the agreement with the centre.
- What happens with a denied Service Request Form?
- When ASISA denies a form, the clinic receives a reason and a reference number. The agent retrieves the response, proposes the fix (missing document, code, justification) and resubmits only after human approval. If the reason is structural, such as a policy without coverage, the case is closed and the patient is notified.
