For many, having the opportunity to live abroad is a dream come true. Living in a new country with a different language, culture and customs broadens your view, enriches your life and can challenge you in unexpected ways. Once you make the move—pack and transport belongings, find a new home and fill out the mountains of paperwork—you have to make sure that you’re insured.
Navigating the insurance systems in a country in which you don’t speak the local language can be overwhelming. The Spanish private healthcare system is full of options for both natives and newcomers. Some choices for private health insurance in Spain include DKV, Zurich, Sanitas and Adeslas. Each company offers numerous coverage plans with varying costs, however there is a tool that can help to simplify the search and provide a smooth and straightforward insurance process: Cogesa Expats.
