Question
“What does private health insurance cost in Spain for a family? Are there co-pays? What kind of coverage can I expect?”
Answers
“Around 250€ per month. I have Sanitas.”
“Sanitas is expensive, but it has served me well. I paid up to €108/month for myself.”
“For a 51 year old parent and an 18 year old child we’re paying about 1000€/year.”
“2 x 55 year olds. €2500 per year.”
“I’m 25 yo and I’m paying 600 € per year, no co-pays or anything, almost everything is included. I’m Adeslas.”
“For just me, I’m 58 and it’s about €100 a month. Just signed up for public health care under the Convenio Especial and that’s €60. I’ll run them concurrent to make sure I like the public system docs.”
“2 mid forties, 2 kids 600€/yr for each of us – so roughly 50€/mo/pp but we paid the full year up front.”
“My husband and I are in our 50’s. We have Salus insurance. We pay about €200 per month. Also, in case no one told you, if you’re applying for the NLV (and I think the DNV but not positive) you have to pay a full year up front as part of the application process. So be prepared for that outlay of funds.”
“I’m the same age and got quoted 97€/mo for just myself; no deductible.”
