Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Altea?
When we asked expats in Altea if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Altea, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Altea can be expensive, depending on the type of coverage and services required. Private health insurance is generally more expensive than public health insurance, but it can provide more comprehensive coverage. Public health insurance is available to all citizens and residents of Spain, and it covers a wide range of services, including hospital stays, doctor visits, and prescription drugs. However, it does not cover some services, such as dental care and vision care, which must be purchased separately. Additionally, some services may require a co-payment or deductible," explained one expat living in Altea, Spain.
"My policy costs 1017 Euros or about $1109 annually. It can also be paid monthly through a bank deduction. There is no co-pay, which is the requirement for the Spanish visa, so most treatment is included, but not prescriptions or outside consultation," said another in Altea, Spain.
