Guide to qualified Spanish visa insurance
One of the requirements for most long-term visas in Spain is contracting medical insurance operated in Spain. In this article, we will talk about the requirements for visa insurance:
In short, the medical insurance should fulfill the following requirements:
- Operates in Spain
- Full coverage, including emergencies, consultations, diagnostic tests, surgeries (inpatient and outpatient), and hospitalizations, etc
- A minimum coverage of €30,000.00/year
- No copayment or deductible
- No waiting period
- Repatriation of remains.
Some of the requirements above are easy to understand, but some of them seem confusing. We will explain some of the points in depth in the following.
1. Operating in Spain
This is an understandable requirement as it’s assumed that you will live in Spain. Sometimes, you might find an offer of EU medical insurance. Never take it for granted that it will cover Spain! Instead, you should check carefully whether it’s covered for Spain. Because often Spain and a few other countries in Europe are excluded from some travel insurance providers. This is because that Spanish healthcare is more expensive than for other EU countries like France or Germany. Some insurers want to cut down costs while confusing people of the country coverage.
In that sense, a Spain-run medical insurance company like Adeslas is more reliable, as it not only operates in Spain, but is also the best medical insurance provider with the biggest network of qualified doctors, clinics, and hospitals. Moreover, with the official international office innoinsure, you will enjoy all medical services using English with the easiest purchasing process in the market.
2. No copayment or deductible
This is a term that is not familiar to most expats. A copayment or deductible is a type of fee you must pay every time you go visit a doctor or use any health services. If you want to have qualified visa insurance, it should grant you free of charge when you use medical services such as seeing the doctor, using the ambulance, and taking a medical test.
The rationale of a co-payment plan is that it encourages people to use medical and health services only when it’s necessary, leaving precious medical resources to the people that need treatment. However, with a non-copayment plan, you can enjoy the medical services without caring about any additional fees. This is a different rationale to encourage people to care for their health more often by using reliable means.
We agree with the second rationale and offer you our expat insurance can also meet the requirements with the best value-for-money plan.
3. Repatriation of remains
Another requirement is that the medical insurance should ensure to transport the mortal remains of the insured person back to the loved ones living in the country of origin. This is a small-possibility incidence, but qualified visa insurance should be able to offer this service for free when anything unexpected happens.
Many insurers offer all the other services but cannot fulfill this requirement because they cannot afford to do so. And if you contract insurance that cannot fulfill the requirement, you will have a high possibility of being rejected the visa application by the consulate.
Our insurance also offers this service to leave you free of worries.
