Colorado Babe said that the trick is to appeal immediately after they reject you. Not sure why the timing is so important. Perhaps she will add her two cents when she reads your thread. She just kept calling and pushing her cause.
The only thing I foresee needing later for an appeals process if denied reimbursement; would be documentation on the following:
1. Joint Commission Insurance accreditation for BSC and/or Hospital Quiron
2. ISO compliance
3. Statement showing that this procedure is the standard level of care in Spain and approved by your EMA
