What Polisan does

Polisan (Poli-San S.r.l.) is a private Italian clinical analysis laboratory and multi-specialty outpatient clinic (Poliambulatorio) headquartered in Potenza, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, operating across four facilities — three in Potenza (Via Ponte Nove Luci, Piazza della Costituzione Italiana, Via Mazzini) and one in Moliterno. Founded in 1996, the company serves the regional population with a portfolio spanning routine and specialized laboratory diagnostics (more than 300 tests including blood tests, urinalysis, allergy panels, and food sensitivity panels), multi-specialty consultations across cardiology, diagnostic imaging, nutrition, urology, andrology, endocrinology, diabetology, orthopedics, obstetrics/gynecology, podology, and dermatology, plus nursing care, maternity pathways, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and telemedicine services. The company operates as an accredited provider under Italy's Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN), with assigned regional budget allocations governing 2025-2026 service delivery, and also accepts private-pay patients for services rendered without SSN prescription.

The company's clinical infrastructure was modernized through the Macchinari Innovativi 4.0 initiative, which deployed advanced laboratory equipment for pathological anatomy, cytology, liquid biopsy, cytodiagnostics, and medical and forensic genetics, backed by EUR 653,836.50 in public subsidy funding. Digital infrastructure comprises an iOS/Android mobile application for booking, results retrieval, and queue management, an online booking platform (polisan.allbookingservice.com), and a remote-monitoring telemedicine channel supporting Holter cardiac ECG, Holter pressorio blood-pressure monitoring, and polysomnography with specialist digital reporting. Core technology partnerships include Infomedica (digital report delivery) and Patogenic (pathology and genetics collaboration). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and employs 11-50 staff.

Polisan's commercial model is dual-track: SSN reimbursement for services delivered within assigned regional healthcare budgets, and direct out-of-pocket payment for private-pay services. Customer acquisition is predominantly direct-to-consumer through the website, mobile app, local SEO, Google Maps discovery, and educational video content via the "Sportello Medico" YouTube series. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, private equity, or venture capital involvement, does not publicly disclose revenue or funding history, and operates exclusively within Italy, with no stated global footprint.
