Default Healthcare in Andalucia

Can anyone living in Andalucia advise if a husband is covered as a dependant under his wife's Tarjeta de Sanitaria, as it is in Murcia.

If he is not already on your form as your dependant ask DWP for another form with his name on it.

My OH was not named as my dependant initially even though I had given DWP his depatils so I had to contact them and ask for another form.

Thanks Rosemary. Hubby has a health card of his own at the moment as my dependant but someone had said that all provinces might not be the same, so thought best to ask. If we ove to Andalucia, would like all info before we do.

Odds on you will have to re register in Andalucia as they will not recognise your card/s.

Yes, we thought this but were wondering if all Provinces were the same. Didnt want to have to start paying private health charges!!

Cannot speak for other provinces, but I know that a Valencian S.I.P card gets a blank look there, so if moving there you will need to re register and all will be well.
