Booking a Sanitas appointment in Spain usually starts with checking your policy, the current Sanitas cuadro médico and the available appointment options through Sanitas's official channels. For English-speaking expats, the key is understanding which doctors, specialists, medical centres or hospitals may be available under your specific policy before you try to book.
Online booking
Sanitas may offer appointment booking through digital channels such as Mi Sanitas and other official Sanitas options, but app features and booking routes can change. Always check the current Sanitas process. See our Mi Sanitas guide.
