Good to know about Sanitas: Unlike the general one-month rule, health policies — including Sanitas' — typically set a two-month notice period in their general terms, so a one-month margin may be too late. Sanitas accepts cancellation via a recorded phone call, but you should still request written confirmation, since OCU's complaints register includes cases where customers struggled to prove they cancelled on time before renewal. Another recurring public complaint concerns steep premium increases on plans like Sanitas Plus, which push many policyholders to want to switch right at the renewal when they get the increase notice. If you switch to another health insurer, seniority accrued with Sanitas doesn't transfer automatically: the new insurer may recognise it and waive waiting periods if you show your previous policy and last paid receipt, but it isn't obliged to, and that seniority never covers serious pre-existing conditions (e.g. cancer or diabetes). Don't cancel Sanitas until your new policy has been accepted and is active.

Estimados señores:

Por medio del presente escrito, yo, D./D.ª [Nombre y apellidos], con DNI/NIE [DNI/NIE], en mi condición de titular del contrato de seguro con número de referencia [n.º de contrato], comunico de forma fehaciente mi voluntad de causar BAJA en el servicio contratado con su entidad, con efecto en la fecha más temprana legalmente posible.

De conformidad con el artículo 22 de la Ley 50/1980, de 8 de octubre, de Contrato de Seguro, ejercito mi derecho a oponerme a la prórroga de esta póliza, comunicándolo por escrito con la antelación mínima de un mes exigida por dicha norma antes de la conclusión del periodo de seguro en curso. Les recuerdo asimismo su obligación, conforme al Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007 (TRLGDCU), de no aplicar penalizaciones improcedentes ni facturaciones posteriores a la fecha de efecto de esta oposición.

La presente comunicación es fehaciente y suficiente por sí misma para surtir plenos efectos, sin que su validez quede condicionada a ninguna confirmación telefónica. Solicito que toda gestión relativa a esta solicitud se realice exclusivamente por escrito (correo postal o electrónico) y no autorizo llamadas comerciales ni de retención. La eventual falta de respuesta telefónica por mi parte no suspenderá ni dejará sin efecto esta solicitud.

La presente comunicación se remite de forma fehaciente, con acuse de recibo y constancia de su contenido y fecha, a efectos probatorios. Quedo a la espera de su confirmación por escrito.

Atentamente,

What to know when cancelling Insurance in Spain

Legal deadline: under art. 22 of the Spanish Insurance Contract Law (Ley 50/1980), you must give written notice at least 1 month before the policy renews (the insurer needs 2 months).
In writing: opposition to renewal must be written; a burofax with acknowledgment of receipt is the classic way to prove you met the deadline.
Premium increases: if the insurer raises your premium at renewal without your consent, you can reject the renewal even past the general deadline.

Your general rights as a consumer in Spain

You can cancel whenever you want, withdraw without giving reasons if you just signed up (14 days), and require advance notice before your contract auto-renews. All your consumer rights when cancelling in Spain →

Frequently asked questions

How do I cancel Sanitas in Spain?

Write a formal cancellation request with your details, your customer number and the effective date, and send it to Sanitas by a means that creates proof (burofax, certified mail or the official cancellations channel). Our generator drafts the letter for you in under 2 minutes — you can download it free as a PDF.

Do I need to speak Spanish to use this?

No. You fill in the form in English; the letter itself is generated in formal Spanish — which is what Sanitas expects and what works legally in Spain. You see a live preview and can download the PDF for free.

When do I have to send the letter to cancel my insurance?

At least 1 month before the policy's renewal date (art. 22, Ley 50/1980). If you send it later, the insurer can renew the contract for another year — so find the renewal date on your policy and send the letter with margin, by verifiable means.

What is a burofax and why does it matter in Spain?

A burofax is Spain's standard method for legally reliable communications — roughly the equivalent of certified mail with proof of content. It proves you sent the letter and, with acknowledgment of receipt, that it was delivered. Spanish companies take it seriously.
