What insurance companies does Vithas work with?


Vithas covers practically all insurance companies and mutual insurance companies, domestic and foreign. Contact your reference centre to resolve any questions or see the complete list of insurers here.

I don’t have health insurance. Can I book an appointment at a Vithas medical centre or hospital?


Yes. Our centres and hospitals offer medical consultations, A&E care, medical-surgical treatments and diagnostic tests to all patients, even if they don’t have health insurance. Contact your nearest centre or hospital or one of our Personal Health Advisors so that they can manage your treatment as a private patient.

How do I book an appointment at a Vithas medical centre or hospital?


Booking an appointment with your Vithas specialist is very simple: you can do it online, through our website vithas.en or through the Vithas app, which you can download from the AppStore and Google Play, by calling your reference centre, or in person.

In addition, in many specialities, you can choose between an in-person or remote appointment (via video consultation or by phone).

What documentation should I bring for my first appointment with the specialist?


For your first appointment with the specialist you will only need to bring your ID and your health or mutual insurance card. You can also bring information such as medical reports or diagnostic tests if you believe this is necessary and you're coming in for a recurring condition that was not previously treated in any of our centres or hospitals.

What happens if I can’t access my private area, does that mean I won’t receive my test results or be able to download them?


If you’re having trouble accessing your private area or have any issues accessing your reports or diagnostic test results, you can contact your reference hospital or the Support Service by sending an email explaining your problem to cau.web@vithas.en.
