Spanish Health System:  Advantages of the private health insurance

The full contract is the most expensive, but has the best coverage in Spain, in some cases it can quickly pay for itself. In that case, the insurance covers 100% of the fees of general and specialized medicine. It provides access to a large network of general practitioners, specialists, hospital assistance and travel assistance abroad.

Free choice of the doctors: If the insured consults a doctor outside the company's network, in Spain or even abroad, coverage will be 80% of the amount.

If you speak little or no Spanish, the  Full contract   is made for you since it gives access to a network of English-speaking general practitioners and specialists.

Finally, natural medicines (Acupuncture, homeopathy, manual therapy, etc.) are also covered by the Full contract.
