Sanitas or Asisa? The Key Decision for Your Health in Alicante

You're at the point of deciding on your health insurance, and the question is clear: Sanitas or Asisa? Both are two of Spain's leading companies, but the answer to "which is better" is rarely generic. The best policy is the one that best fits your needs and, above all, your location.

As health insurance experts with a physical office in Alicante, we know the fine print, but we also know the day-to-day of private healthcare in our province. We aren't an automatic comparator; we are personal advisors.

In this article, we don't just compare general features; we answer the key question: Which company offers you better coverage and service right here, in Alicante?

The General Comparison: Sanitas vs. Asisa

On a national level, both insurers have very distinct strengths that users value:

• Sanitas: Stands out for its digital innovation (like the BluaU video consultation) and, especially, for its powerful network of proprietary centers (Sanitas Hospitals and Milenium Centers), which guarantee a standard of quality.
• Asisa: Is characterized by a huge variety of policies (with and without co-payments, reimbursement plans) and a very extensive and widespread contracted medical network throughout the territory.

However, this comparison falls short. An extensive national medical network is useless if the best hospitals in your city aren't included.

The Decisive Factor: Which is Better in the Province of Alicante?

This is where our local experience makes the difference. The quality of a health insurance policy in Alicante is measured by access to its leading hospitals and the speed of care.

The Medical Network in Alicante: Hospitals and Specialists

At Sanitas, we pride ourselves on offering one of the most complete and prestigious medical networks in the province of Alicante. Our policyholders have access to the leading reference centers:

• Hospital Vithas Alicante (formerly Perpetuo Socorro)
• Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja and Quirónsalud Alicante
• Clínica IMED Levante (Benidorm) and Clínica IMED Elche
• Hospital Clínica Vistahermosa
• Milenium Medical Centers: In addition to the partner hospitals, Sanitas has its own centers in Alicante, like the Milenium Alicante Center, which speeds up access to specialties and diagnostic tests without waiting.

While Asisa also has a good medical network in the province, the combination of the main private hospital groups (Vithas, Quirónsalud, IMED) along with the proprietary Milenium network provides Sanitas clients with robust and highly reliable coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions When Comparing Sanitas and Asisa

We solve the most common doubts that our clients raise at our Alicante office.

Which company has better reviews?

Both have millions of clients and all kinds of reviews. The difference is usually in the management. Many clients value Sanitas for its commitment to digitalization (App, BluaU) and the quality of its own centers (Milenium). However, the best review usually goes to whoever solves problems, and that's where our local service in Alicante stands out.

Is Sanitas more expensive than Asisa?

Not necessarily. Both companies offer a similar price range depending on the policy type (with co-payment, no co-payment, reimbursement). Our job at Sanitas Alicante is to find the policy with the best quality-price-coverage ratio for you, ensuring you only pay for what you will actually use in our province.

Which one has better dental coverage?

Both offer very complete supplemental dental insurance. Sanitas includes basic coverage in many of its main policies and offers Sanitas Dental, with access to the extensive network of Milenium Dental Clinics, several of which are in Alicante, making access very easy.
