Access to Spanish Healthcare

Arranging your healthcare in Lanzarote

If you’re a resident on the island and employed or self employed, making regular social security contributions, you are entitled to free healthcare. Your children will also be covered by the state healthcare in this case. 

If you have been resident on the island and registered on the padrón for more than one year you can also access public healthcare in Lanzarote for 60€ a month (up until the age of 65), if you are not paying social security. This is cheaper than most private medical insurance policies and gives you full coverage for any medical issues that may arise for full peace of mind.

Do remember that you still have to go and register with a doctor at your local medical centre. We advise doing that straight away, so you know you have access should you need medical help moving forward. We do offer an additional service to help you register.

I WANT SPANISH HEALTHCARE

Medical translation

Feel more confident in medical appointments

Visiting the doctors can be stressful enough, without the added worry of whether or not you’ll be able to explain your situation or understand instructions or solutions being presented to you. We all want to feel in control of our health.

We can accompany you to any doctors or hospital appointments and are experienced communicating in all the various departments. We’ll be by you side to support you, so you fully understand your options and enable you to take part in the decision making so you feel more involved and secure. 

Feel confident that you fully understand where you need to be, when, what’s going to happen and any diagnosis given. If you have any questions we can ask them on your behalf, and help you get the answers you need.

I NEED MEDICAL TRANSLATION

Be prepared for peace of mind

Register the whole family at the medical centre

It seems obvious, but with so many things to think about when relocating to Lanzarote, many people overlook this final step. 

Once you’ve registered for healthcare through your social security contributions, your S1 or paying for access (see above), you still have to go to your local medical centre and register yourself there.

Whether you’re an individual or a family, we can make the process quick and easy, giving you peace of mind should you need to see a doctor in the future.

We’ll let you know which documents you need to bring and meet you at the medical centre to translate and ask any questions you may have. The first time you meet your GP is critical, let us help you tell them all about your medical history so they´re fully aware of your circumstances and treatments.

Registering your S1

Register your S1 for free healthcare in Lanzarote

If you´re a pensioner and an S1 form holder from the UK or a European country, we can help you register it to gain free access to the Lanzarote healthcare system.

If you’re a pensioner and don’t already have your S1, we can help you with the application process in the UK or Europe as well. 

Once we’ve registered your S1, we can also set up an appointment to get you registered with a doctor at your local medical centre, and if you wish we can attend your first medical appointment with you, incase you have any issues you need to clearly explain for ongoing treatment or care.

UPGRADE YOUR MEDICAL CARE

Health insurance in Lanzarote for added peace of mind

Whilst our Lanzarote public health system does offer a high standard of care, you may find yourself having to a lengthy wait for some treatments and of course, you will generally need someone to accompany you to help translate.

We can arrange a private health insurance policy with DKV, allowing you to choose specialists from their extensive medical directory who speak English, and speed up your appointment schedule.

This is often reassuring for those who have a history of health issues and anticipate needing regular treatment.

You may also need private medical insurance as part of your residency application and not all policy’s satisfy the criteria for this. We will make sure you have the right policy to process your application smoothly. The price we will quote you is the same as they offer on their website, with the added bonus that we will offer you an English speaking direct contact in a collaborating office

A LITTLE EXTRA SUPPORT

Medicall service​

We encourage everyone who moves here to practice their Spanish as often as possible, but phone calls from the hospital and medical center probably aren’t the best place to start!

For just 10,70€ a month (incl. IGIC) we’ll be the contact person and phone number for your medical appointments, taking any calls on your behalf and relaying the information to you.

Feel fully confident that you know what’s needed, where you need to be and when.

And of course, if you want us to hold your hand at the appointment, we will do so (additional service)
