Do not wait until your first appointment in Spain to sort out healthcare cover. Within Europe, the responsible arrangement depends, according to Your Europe, among other things on economic status and place of residence. An employee, pensioner, posted worker and jobseeker may need different forms or steps.
Contact the right institution
Provide your nationality, employment or pension situation, moving date and family members to the responsible insurer or social security institution. An EHIC is intended for necessary healthcare during a temporary stay and should not be regarded as a complete solution for permanent residence without checking.
Keep ongoing treatment on track
Bring a medication list with generic names, a recent summary and a sufficient legal supply. Find a pharmacy, the route to a GP and emergency care near your first address in advance.
Check again when circumstances change
A new job or residence status can change cover. Corablanca can help coordinate documents and appointments; the competent institution and healthcare professional decide on cover and treatment.
