What does a lifetime health insurance policy involve?
When considering health insurance, it is essential to understand the different types of coverage available, as this will help ensure personal well-being both in the short and long term. One of the most important aspects is lifetime coverage, which means the policy cannot be cancelled. But what does this mean, and what are the benefits? Here is everything you need to know:
What is a lifelong health insurance policy?
It is an excellent choice for anyone seeking long-term peace of mind and medical security, as well as protection as they age. This type of policy includes a guarantee that the insurer will not cancel or refuse to renew your coverage. Without this safeguard, you could face difficulties finding another health insurance provider in Spain willing to accept you, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are of advanced age. In this sense, lifelong coverage is a key factor in avoiding unpleasant surprises.
How does it work?
The policyholder is the only person who can decide whether to continue with their health insurance at the time of renewal. If they do not express a wish to cancel the policy, the insurer will usually renew it automatically—just as ASSSA does—without requiring any additional paperwork.
