US citizen planning to be staying in Asturias for 6 months. Medicare provides no coverage and my Aetna supplemental policy limits "overseas" coverage to two months. Am 76 and in good health.
Looks like travel insurance, from Allianz for example, is economical & covers emergency health care. (Of course the question is what is considered the "emergency" that the insurance company will cover?)
It's my understanding that hospitals run by the Seguro Social do not turn away emergency cases.
Does anyone know which private health insurance companies in Spain would offer policies for 3 to 6 months and would it be better to purchase coverage locally when in Spain ?
