individual medical insurance for American in Madrid 2-12 months? - 09/28/04 12:27 PM
Hey all -
I'm an American moving to Madrid in a few months. I will be staying as little as 2 months, or as much as a year or two. As I'm quitting my job, I'm losing my health insurance here and have been researching Spanish health insurance companies that might provide individual medical coverage to someone (note, i will most likely be working illegally, so I'm not sure how I fit -- as a tourist?) I've looked at MAPRFRE and Sanitas - sanitas seems to have good coverage but is quoting me roughly 200 euros/month for their plan that covers me if i go back to the US for a few weeks. Anyone have personal experience with this? I'd appreciate some insight into which companies provide the most affordable foreigner's health insurance (just need basic med coverage. nothing fancy.)
Thanks!
