Sanitas

What Sanitas does

Sanitas is a Madrid-headquartered Spanish private health insurer and integrated healthcare provider, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the British mutual Bupa since 1989. It serves more than 2.4 million health insurance customers in Spain through a multi-channel distribution model — proprietary commercial offices, telesales, bancassurance partnerships, brokers, and a digital self-service portal — and segments demand across individuals and families, self-employed professionals, foreign residents, SMEs, and large enterprises. Pricing is structured as monthly or annual subscription premiums with both co-payment and no-co-payment tiers, complemented by family-pack discounts (10% lifetime for 4+ insured members) and annual-payment incentives.

Underlying the insurance franchise is an owned provider network that gives Sanitas vertical control rare for a European insurer: 4 hospitals, 24 medical centers, 9 advanced rehabilitation centers, and a laboratory under Sanitas Hospitales; 200+ Clínicas Dentales Milenium clinics under the Sanitas Dental brand; and 43 residential homes plus 23 day centers under Sanitas Mayores, which also offers home care via Blua Senior. This clinical footprint is monetized beyond policyholders through the Sanitas Health Store (fee-for-service aesthetic, laser eye, obesity, Da Vinci robotic surgery, assisted reproduction, and check-up offerings) and via fee-for-service access to the dental and elderly care networks. Pet insurance is offered as a standalone subscription product with reimbursement up to €2,500 per year.

The technology layer is anchored by the Blua digital health ecosystem and the Mi Sanitas customer app, which together deliver videoconsultations across all specialties, digital psychology, digital physiotherapy, a symptom-evaluation tool, and structured preventive programs (pregnancy, nutrition, personal trainer, child health). Blua is bundled at no extra cost into health policies, and the platform is being extended with AI-driven customer service bots, wearables-based monitoring, and a Microsoft AI stack partnership disclosed at Microsoft AI Tour Madrid 2026. Sanitas holds Joint Commission International accreditation for its hospital network and ISO 9001, AENOR COVID-19, and CEOMA restraint-free certifications for its elderly care operations, and was named Top Employer Spain 2026. Revenue, customer counts, and consolidation figures are not publicly disclosed at the Sanitas Seguros level.
