Health Insurance in Spain

Hi all,
     My wife and I are in the process of applying for a resident non-lucrative visa. One of the required items on the visa checklist is obtaining health insurance coverage. Can anyone give us a health insurance company recommendation that will insure seniors who are 72 & 73 years old from USA.

Soon to be Expats,

Hello Jim & Nola! Coming from the States I would probably explore the possibility of expanding your current insurance to "international" or "global". That way your pre-existing conditions (if any) would be covered. If you don't have pre-existing conditions or if they are not relevant I believe you won't have issues getting an insurance here. My personal recommendation is that you get a "re-embolso" one. They are more complete than the basic ones. Basic ones are very cheap but have many limitations, specially for expats. I looked into Sanitas Blua, Adeslas reembolso, Cigna Global, Mapfre Reembolso, Sanitas Más 90, Sanitas Premium 500. Eventually I went for one called DKV Mundisalud and I have been quite happy so far. I hope this helps! L
Thank you so much Lola.

My husband and I are exploring a few different options for retirement ( 10yrs away). He works for the VA and his  BlueCross plan will cover us internationally, and we also have preexisting conditions.   Would a plan like this this satisfy the residency requirement for Spain?  I was a little confused about the whole subject.
