Sanitas may offer health insurance policies in Spain that include hospitalisation, but this should never be assumed automatically. Hospitalisation cover depends on the exact policy, your personal terms and conditions, the current policy wording, the Sanitas medical network and any authorisation or waiting-period rules that apply.
The honest answer
No. Sanitas has different health insurance products, and hospitalisation should only be treated as covered if it is confirmed in the current policy wording and your personal policy conditions. Two people on different Sanitas policies may have very different hospitalisation cover.
Definition
Hospitalisation usually refers to being admitted to hospital for inpatient treatment, surgery, observation or medical care. The exact cover, limits and conditions must be checked in your specific policy — do not assume a standard level of cover applies.
Checklist
Residents
Sanitas Residents is commonly used for visa and residency-style cover, but hospitalisation details must be checked in the current Sanitas Residents policy wording and any personal terms issued to the applicant. See Sanitas Residents and Residents hospital access.
Residents Platinum
Sanitas Residents Platinum may be considered where broader cover is required, but exact hospitalisation benefits, exclusions, limits, waiting periods and authorisation rules must be verified in the current policy wording. See Residents Platinum and Residents Platinum hospital access.
Visas
For NLV, DNV and other visa applicants, the policy must meet the insurance requirements for the route. Hospitalisation may be important, but visa suitability also depends on certificate wording, no-copay structure and current immigration expectations. See hospital access for visa applicants.
