I recently had need to call 112. Ambulance duly arrived and went to Torrevieja NHS hospital. I have residencia and a SIP card - but not available at the time: the card does not have an expiry date. I have now received a bill for the ambulance ride which appears to give me 7 days to prove the right to Public Health Care, and presumably delete the bill.

a) Why was I given a bill for ambulance use, and,

b) if the bill can be deleted to whom do I apply and where?

Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks, BM

Report the loss of your SIP card to the narest health centre "Ambulatorio" and get a dupe. Neabwghile, use the report copy to waive the ambulance bill.
