insurance with diabetes/high blood pressure - Page 2

It was going to cost us 13K, I kid you not. But I will try and find the contact details.

Adam, here are the contact details of the specialist insurers.

Incidentally, the agent with whom we were dealing stated that they had many clients with the same problems and reasons for non-acceptance.

Good morning we are in the same predicament insurance policy which costs a fortune with very little cover we contacted the citizens advice bureau Spain who told us to apply for convenio especial (Spanish health service) and pay 60 euros a month I have been on the padron 5 years so should be no problem my wife only 5 months but they said apply Spain wants your money so watch this space you can download the information and forms from cab.es

As far as I am aware the convenio Especial may not be applied for until you have been legally resident for a year

I am only responding on information we received from the citizens advice bureau Spain we had a meeting with them recently they said they had applied for people with only 2 months padron and had got convenio especial ?

Well, hope that’s right!!! The usual situation is that if under pension age, one has to provide a year’s PHI paid in full in advance and only after that may one apply for Convenio. The situation may differ if over pension age?

As I understand it once I am resident for one year I can join the Convenio Especial for healthcare requirements which means that I will only have  to pay 12 months PHI at a horrendous rate but so be it thats just another necessary expense. I

 am registered on the Padron at my house in Encebras but still in the uk sorting some business out before I can move over full time. The last piece of the jigsaw is the health cover then my TIE application can go in before the deadline

Thank you for all your help.

Regards

Adam

I have bought a years cover I am a fair was from a state pension  yet 10 years or so assuming that they do raise the age yet again. Once I have been here a year I will switch to the Comvenio as it is half the costs of PHI

Adam - if the ones suggested above don't work through, and Angbadge plus others do know their stuff, try Salus? We went with them. I have a pre-existing on blood pressure. They will not cover you for that and exclude it, but they will insure you and that worked for the TIE. Just not the basic package, has to be the premium one.

Kind regards,

Dave
