Newbie to Private Health Insurance
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2021 9:27 pm
Hi there
I've taken out private health insurance with Salus as part of my application for residencia but I have a few questions.
Do I need to register with a practice? I'm planning on using Medcare in Benijofar.
I am on repeat medication, can a private practice issue me Spanish repeat prescription forms to save me using my UK ones?
In the UK I was classified as a vulnerable category as I have COPD and high blood pressure and had to have yearly tests, lung function, blood tests, diabetes and a review of my medication. The surgery also used to call me to have an annual flu vaccination. Will a private practice do the same in Spain?
Will I need to register for the Covid-19 vaccination?
Sorry for all the questions but it's all new to me and I know some of you out there already have private health insurance so might be able to help me.
