Is BUPA UK health insurance ok for Spanish residency? by Nic2549
I'm considering moving to Valencia in 2019. I have a long-term health issue which is covered by private healthcare in the UK, but is unlikely to be covered if I take out a new policy for Spain. Does anyone know if the Spanish authorities ...

Hello John! Sorry, I missed your last message. You are completely right. That is a very important point. Ours provides full medical coverage with no copayments within their "cuadro medico" as the basic ones, but additionally we can choose ... Read More

Hi all, My wife and I are in the process of applying for a resident non-lucrative visa. One of the required items on the visa checklist is obtaining health insurance coverage. Can anyone give us a health insurance company recommendation that ...

Hello Jim & Nola! Coming from the States I would probably explore the possibility of expanding your current insurance to "international" or "global". That way your pre-existing conditions (if any) would be covered. If you ... Read More

Thank you Johncar! We have decided to join DKV Mundisalud. We do not have any pre-existing condition so we had flexibility with which insurance to choose. All the 'reembolso' policies looked pretty good, and a lot better value than in the ... Read More

Thank you Pat!! I have not decided on the exact insurance provider, but what I know for sure is that I want a "reembolso" policy. Reimbursement policies seems to give you the most flexibility to pick and choose your doctors. Read More

Thank you for the quick response! That sounds good. We very much prefer to pay upfront and claim back, as I have been told doctors in the 'cuadro medico' are paid very little per appointment by the health insurances. Do you have any thoughts ... Read More

Hello! How was your experience with SANITAS Mas 90? I understand it is a "reimbursement" policy (you pay upfront and submit a claim afterwards) that allows you to choose the doctors you want to see. We prefer the "reimbursement" ... Read More
