MRI authorisation with Adeslas: 30-day validity and appointment date
Adeslas operational rule on diagnostic imaging
Adeslas publishes that most authorisations expire 30 calendar days from the date indicated in the request. The rule applies as reference for diagnostic imaging and, in MRI, the clock starts before the patient enters the scanner. If the scheduled appointment moves past day 30, the initial authorisation no longer covers the act and the centre faces a resubmission rather than a status check.
Usual clinical documentation
Adeslas states authorisations can be requested with a photo of the medical prescription from the customer area. A complete MRI request usually includes clinical indication, anatomical area and whether contrast is used. The existence of a full Adeslas professional portal for the clinic to submit on the patient behalf is not confirmed in public sources and depends on the centre agreement with the insurer.
How revenue is lost in Adeslas MRI
Typical leakage in Adeslas MRI is not denial but expiry. The initial appointment is scheduled for the following week, the imaging team has a full agenda, the appointment is rescheduled to the next month and the original authorisation expires under the 30-day rule. The clinic admin does not detect expiry because no system flags it before the act. The MRI is performed, the invoice goes out, the insurer rejects and the centre loses the full revenue or ends up renegotiating the tariff.
How SaludComply approaches it
SaludComply maintains a per-authorisation queue with expiry calculated by insurer rule. For Adeslas, the queue alerts seven, three and one days before expiry, with priority on rescheduled appointments. The agent prepares the resubmission or renewal with documentation equivalent to the original request and the clinic admin approves before sending. The 30-day rule stops being a silent risk when someone tracks it by appointment, not by memory.
