Hi, only used this once, maybe Nicola could help ? I am on 4 items on a monthly prescription, can I get them free as I do in England at the moment, I am planning on moving to Spain very soon and have been told that depending on your income they charge according to your income, if so what are we looking at, I am on a low income so I am concerned that any high charge would have a impact on my income. Also do you need house and content insurance, haven't seen any mention of this when looking at moving to Spain, hope you can help on these please, Rob

Hi Rob,

If you get your residencia and permanent SIP card, and are a pensioner, you will only pay 10% of the cost of prescriptions. When you pay Spanish income tax the authorities know how much your income is. If it is below 18,000€ per annum, your prescriptions will be free. This 'free' concession is only available in the Valencia region, nowhere else in Spain.The prescriptions that the doctor issues you clearly show the full cost of each item, and the amount you have to pay. Occasionally a medicine is prescribed that is not covered, but there are not many. All generic medicines are cheap here. However, I can't tolerate Statins and take Ezetrol which is not generic and costs  51€, but even if you pay 10%, 5€ is not much. The Farmacia in Cabo Roig is very good, and I am sure that the staff would be able to tell you how much your medicines would cost each month.

Best  wishes, Sheila
