Reimbursement of expenses

Even if the "Right to Scheduled Treatment" S2 form is provided, the legislation of the country where the programmed medical assistance was received sometimes stipulates the payment of a fixed amount or a percentage of the costs (co-payment) for medical fees, hospitalisation or treatment that the patient must pay there directly, on an equal footing with insured persons in that State.

However, you can apply for reimbursement of health expenses on your arrival in Spain, in the event that this should be applicable,  through the INSS, online here.

You can also download the Request for Reimbursement of Medical Assistance - Scheduled Treatment, which contains  the necessary information on the documentation to be provided and submit it in person. You can make an appointment via the  appointment service or by calling  901 10 65 70 / 915412530.

If you have any other questions, you can send them to us through the consultation mailbox, selecting the topic "International Medical Assistance".

If you are insured in Spain and during a temporary stay in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or any of the countries belonging to the European Union, you have needed medical care and you may have been obliged to pay all or part of the costs, even if you have presented the European Health Insurance Card or the Provisional Replacement Certificate.

If you have not been able to apply for reimbursement of expenses in the country of stay, you may apply for reimbursement when you return to Spain. In some cases, the legislation of the country where you received the required medical care provides for the payment of a fixed amount or a percentage of the costs (co-payment)  resulting from the medical care. In such cases, the patient must bear these amounts or co-payments at their own expense, on an equal footing with insured persons in that country, and these amounts are therefore not reimbursable.

Expenses will be reimbursed according to the rules and scales of the country where treatment was received.

You can obtain and submit the application form online here.
