Описание: An Overview Of Private Health Insurance In Spain.

Private healthcare services coexist with the public system, often within healthcare centers (centros de salud). If you undergo a procedure not covered by state healthcare, you’ll need private health insurance or cover the entire medical costs. Many opt for private insurance to access better and faster treatment.

Expats often prefer private insurance due to a 2013 change in Spanish healthcare laws, limiting access to specific healthcare services. Furthermore, expats require health insurance proof when applying for visas. It’s advisable to have travel health insurance from your home country or, preferably, obtain a private healthcare plan in Spain. Local insurance companies understand the healthcare system and coverage specifics within your plan.
