Hi everyone,

I am currently going through the residency process. From what ive read the cover needs to be fully inclusive to reflect the service offered by the Spanish healthcare system. There are so many companies out there offering a range of services at varying price points. The cover required if for myself and my wife. Anyone out there got any good references they could share. As always ....many thanks,,,,,Gary

I have used Sanitas (part of the BUPA group), which I'm happy with. I've also seen DKV recommended on this forum.

It's definitely worth shopping around, as I have seen a wide variety of costs quoted - even considering age, pre-existing conditions, etc.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Gary.  We are starting the NLV process soon.  Who did you end up choosing for your health insurance? Thanks.

Hi

I chose DKV. Mostly because they were able to process our cover within a couple of days and I was under a tight deadline. The cover is very good and  competitively priced. I had the misfortune to have to use the policy within a few days and that went without a glitch. My contact was very helpful and was always only a wts app call away when I needed her......details as below, if you use them let her know I mentioned her and I am sure she will look after you:)             josefinapujalte@dkvsaludfamiliar.es

best of luck

Gary, that's great information - thank you.  Sorry that you had to use it pretty quickly, though.  Kindest regards, Barbara.
