The Ultimate Guide to Health Insurance for Expats in Spain

[@rabukan5842]

This is excellent information! We will be moving to Spain in 2025 so my Filipina can get her citizenship. I'm a US citizen and am tired of the endless visa applications for Filipinos. We could go to the US for her green card, but I don't want to live there, so, we will come to Spain. Thank you for all of the information you are providing viewers like us. It's extremely helpful and there is a lot to prepare for. I've lived abroad most of my adult life, but she never has. So the more information we can get, the easier it will be to adjust. We will be in touch. :)

@@rabukan5842 glad it’s been helpful. And even with a greencard she will need to apply for visas like Schengen. We’re so happy we don’t have to do that anymore! Always a huge task and expense to apply!

@@EverythingIsBoffo Yes, I'm in Japan (I teach the US military, will retire next year) and we've applied 6 times and only received 2 visas. We paid each time and never heard back for 4 of the 6, and no refunds. You two were very smart. I'm done with the visas, and I love Europe. :)

I just came across your KZbin content and thank you for sharing. I’ve been wanting to live in Spain for a long time and I’m getting ready to sell my property and business in the United States in the next couple of years. Anyways, I was hoping to find info to move to Sitges Spain.. Also, I will keep on checking out your contents. Thanks again for the videos.

You only need health insurance if you are self employed and don't register as independent worker. If you are an employee, including self employed and pay taxes, you get compulsory coverage by social security.

Curious more on the pre existing conditions-I had stage 1 skin cancer, had surgery and check ups every 6 months for 5 years and all is well now. Curious if dermatologist visit are normal or pre existing.

Hello! Please reach out to Ciaran at www.innoinsure.com/visainsurance/everythingisboffo to inquire, I don’t have that answer for you, but they can help!

Está claro que lo único que te importa de mi país, España, es su sistema de salud. Supongo que vendrás a explotarlo sin ni siquiera aprender mi idioma. Es horrible. 😢😢 De todas formas, cuando haces un seguro de salud te preguntan las enfermedades que tienes. Y con un cáncer no creo que ninguna compañía te acepte.

What I have realized is that health insurance is intended for the young and healthy. This is what I have learned and please correct me if I have been misinformed. With DKV the requirement for health insurance in Spain is satisfied. They advertise coverage to age 99, however, DKV will not pay your medical provider for services beyond age 75. You would still have to pay out of pocket for services and DKV keeps collecting your premiums. Quite expensive when premium is determined by age. Spain is OK with this. I see it as blatant extortion to pay for the privilege of residing in Spain. This must be renewed for five years before you can be on the public system. I am 80 years old and have no pre existing conditions. Karen, correct me please!

Hello! I recommend talking with Ciaran over at Https://www.innoinsure.com/visainsurance/everythingisboffo as it appears that you may have signed up with a different office and gotten a different policy. Ciaran and his team only offer an annual premium and not a monthly premium. Thank you and best of luck on your move to Spain.

[@lornahiggins2926]

Are there any comparison websites for medical insurance cover in Spain? Thank you! 🤔

[@EverythingIsBoffo]

Hello! I haven’t come across one yet. Https://www.innoinsure.com/visainsurance/everythingisboffo represents a couple of companies so you have the option to choose.
