private health insurance
Hi All
When we move to Spain, we have to take out private health insurance. Does anyone know roughly how much the yearly policy would cost?
I am 55 yrs old, my husband is 59 years old and my daughter is 22. My husband is a diabetic and has back problems, so would a policy also cover his existing problems? I suppose if the policy includes dental treatment then it would cost more.

Oh wow this has been discussed so much on here, do a search on it.
But roughly, I'm 54 and my wife is 58. We had Sanitas Classic, and the cost is around 100 euros a month. Obviously it would be extra for your daughter, but its not usually much for a youngster.
The problem is, that it is unlikely that they will cover your husband for diabetes, and maybe his back problems. I had a shoulder decompression some 7 years ago which is completely recovered, but they won't cover that even now!!!
You will get cover under the state system for up to a couple of years or so by getting an E121 from the DWP in Newcastle. When the first of you reached retirement age, the others will be covered as dependents - that doesn't help either of you in this case though!!!
Dental treatment with Sanitas is about another 86 euros a year iirc, but it only covers basic checkups, have a look on the site
