How to book a covered treatment or request a reimbursement
Completing health care and expense claim forms
Registered company staff members
To apply for a direct medical benefit or reimbursement of medical expenses, it is always necessary to submit the form, which can be downloaded from this page, to the Cassa Edile/EdilCassa with which the worker is registered or, if he is not registered, to the Fund of the territory in which the company where the worker is employed is located, which must be completed and signed.
Family members who are the member’s tax dependants
To apply for a medical benefit or reimbursement of medical expenses attributable to the insurable member’s family (dependent spouse for tax purposes and family status and dependent children for tax purposes), it is necessary to submit one of the following forms to the Cassa Edile/EdilCassa with which the worker is registered/declared or, if not registered/declared, to the Health Insurance Fund of the territory in which the company where the worker is employed is based.
- If the insured person’s spouse/children are of age, the family member’s benefit/reimbursement request form must be completed and signed by the family member interested in the benefit, who may choose, indicating the details, to receive reimbursement of the expenses incurred on his/her own bank/post account, different from that of the insured person. The form also includes a section in which the family member can delegate the member to provide and receive information on claims and guarantees and to receive and deliver/send the relevant health documentation to the relevant Cassa Edile/Edilcassa.
- If the member’s children are minors, the application form for the benefit/reimbursement of minor children must be completed and signed by the insured worker who is the policyholder, who must also provide the bank details for crediting the relevant reimbursement of expenses incurred.
Applicants must attach to these forms the medical and administrative documentation required under point 2 below.
Please note: For the Fund to be able to correctly process a claim for a dependent family member for tax purposes, the certificate of the insurable family member, duly completed and signed by the employee, must first be submitted/sent to the Fund.
The certificate must only be resubmitted if there has been a change in the insurable family nucleus originally declared.
If the forms are not duly signed, even in the “Privacy Policy” section, it will not be possible to proceed with the processing of the request.

AUTHORISATION PROCESS AND FULL BOOKING
AUTHORISATION PROCESS
Your Title Goes Here
The member/family member submits the benefit claim to the Cassa Edile/Edilcassa (point 3).
Your Title Goes Here
As soon as the Cassa staff have completed entering the data, the insured member/family member, if covered, will receive a text message and/or email confirming authorisation, with instructions on how to make the booking for the affiliated health facility themselves.
Your Title Goes Here
By clicking on the link in the email and/or text message, the subscriber/family member accesses the page for choosing the affiliated healthcare facility. The site offers a list of facilities to choose from.
Your Title Goes Here
By clicking on the chosen facility, the member/family member displays the facility’s contact details to make the appointment. He/she must also indicate the doctor with whom he/she will carry out the service.
When the member/family member contacts the healthcare facility, he/she must remember to indicate that he/she is insured with Fondo Sanedil – UniSalute.
Your Title Goes Here
If the member/family member wishes to choose a facility that has an agreement with the Fondo Sanedil other than the three automatically proposed by the system, he/she can consult the list of agreed facilities on the Fondo Sanedil website and then click on the appropriate link at the bottom of the page (see example below).
Your Title Goes Here
The member/family member should indicate the date and time of the appointment already agreed with the chosen health facility.
Your Title Goes Here
Once the member/family member has taken note of the summary of the appointment with the date and time entered, he/she will see all the information relating to the booking, including any fees he/she may have to pay. By clicking on “Confirm” he/she proceeds to send the information to UniSalute.
Your Title Goes Here
Once the booking procedure has been completed, the member/family member will receive a text message and/or email confirming the booking.
Please note that after receiving the booking authorisation text message, the member/family member has 15 days to make the booking at the affiliated facility, after which they will need to contact the Cassa Edile/Edilcassa to make a new authorisation request.
The associated facilities can be consulted here.
FULL BOOKING
The process differs depending on whether or not the member/family member has already made the appointment with the affiliated healthcare facility. In both cases, the procedure allows the member, who is unfamiliar with the application provided for the management of bookings with an authorisation process, to use the system offered by the funds to make a booking.
Please note that the healthcare facility must always be contacted personally by the member/family member to establish the terms of the appointment.
Full booking
WITH AN APPOINTMENT
The insured member/family member submits the request for benefits to the Cassa Edile/EdilCassa (punto 3).
If the member/family member has already made the booking with a facility that has an agreement with the Fund, he/she will hand over the required documents to the Cassa staff (points 1 and 2A), indicating on the request form the chosen health facility and the date and time of the appointment. In the case of specialist visits, the name of the doctor who will provide the service must also be indicated.
Upon completion of the booking procedure by the cashier, the member/family member receives a text message and/or email confirming the booking.
WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT
The insured member/family member submits the request for benefits to the Cassa Edile/Edilcassa (point 3).
As the member/family member has not yet booked the affiliated structure/medical agreement, he/she hands over the required documentation to the Health Fund employee (points 1 and 2A), without any indication of the appointment time.
The member/family member then contacts the affiliated health facility in person, makes the appointment, and promptly communicates the terms of the appointment (health facility, date and time of the appointment, as well as the name of the doctor who will provide the service in the case of specialist visits) directly to the Cassa staff. Failure to do so will result in the reservation not being confirmed if the Cassa staff has not been informed of the terms of the appointment.
Once the booking procedure has been completed by the Cassa staff, the member/family member will receive a text message and/or email confirming the booking.
Points of attention in the health service/reimbursement request process
1
Claims for medical treatment or reimbursement can only be made for claims incurred from the effective date of the relevant healthcare plan.
2
The following are entitled to the PLUS Health Plan:
• members in the manual worker category who received the APE (Construction Staff Seniority) benefit by the end of September of the year in which each insurance year (1 October-30 September) begins;
• members in the office worker category when 24 months of contributions to the Fondo Sanedil can be verified.
3
The following are entitled to the BASIC Health Plan:
• manual and office worker members who have not met the requirements for access to the Plus plan.
4
For dental services that are covered only by the DENTAL TREATMENTS envisaged in the medical plans, the applicant should NOT attach any medical documentation, as the dentist will send the medical history form provided by the insurance company. In any case, the applicant must expressly indicate this type of request in the space reserved in the form mentioned in point 1.
5
In the case only of DENTAL PREVENTIVE cover, the member must indicate “tartar removal” on the form referred to in point 1 in the space reserved for the description of the service requested. ONLY in this case, for the cover to be acknowledged, the member does NOT have to wait for the dental practitioner to send the medical history form to the Insurance Company and may use the service upon receipt of the text message and/or e-mail confirming the appointment.
6
Dental services are only covered on a reimbursement basis if the member uses the National Health Service.
The purchase of lenses, orthopaedic and hearing aids and expenses incurred through the National Health Service are covered exclusively on a reimbursement basis, if provided for in health plans.
For all other covers, reimbursement is only permitted if the member is domiciled/resident in a province with no affiliated healthcare facilities.
7
The member is required to declare on the appropriate form the existence of any other policies covering the same insured risk. If the same risks are covered by two or more insurances, even if they are related to the Fondo Sanedil (UniSalute and Unipol-Sai), they will be managed, in compliance with the contractual reimbursement limits, by both companies.
An insured worker who has already been reimbursed by another company for the same insured risk shall be paid only the amount remaining for which he/she is responsible, in accordance with the deductibles and maximums and net of the amount already reimbursed, which must be documented and certified.
8
The member is entitled to an additional period of insurance cover following loss of employment, for 60 days in the case of the Basic health plan or 90 days in the case of the Plus health plan. These periods are counted from the termination of employment on a monthly basis and not for individual days.
