SegurCaixa Adeslas covers the SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests indicated and prescribed prior to certain surgery or hospitalisation, in line with the recommendations in force. In this case, it is not necessary to request authorisation from the company for the SARS-Cov-2 tests, although you must request authorisation for surgery or admissions. To carry out the test, you can directly attend the agreed-upon laboratories with your health card and medical prescription.
If you must take the SARS-CoV-2 test due to experiencing COVID-type symptoms, SegurCaixa Adeslas covers the test and requires you to request authorisation from the company beforehand, so that it can assess each case and issue the authorisation (if the coverage criteria are met).
For SegurCaixa Adeslas to carry out this assessment, the insured party must request the authorisation, providing the following documentation so that the company can review their case:
- Medical prescription.
- A detailed medical report provided by the professional prescribing the test, detailing the patient’s symptoms, the test to be performed (for which the COVID-19 detection test is requested in advance) or the procedure to be carried out that requires the performance of this detection test.
It is very easy to fill out an authorisation request online. From your Customer Area, and in the left-hand side menu, click on Medical services > Authorisations.
