Are you going to study in Spain?

Before leaving to study in Spain, it is imperative to make sure that you have health insurance.

Indeed, the reimbursement of medical expenses abroad is not automatic, and optimal coverage is necessary to cover all types of care.

Depending on the situation and the destination of the student, different health insurance policies exist.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that a medical contingency never prevents, so it is better to be well insured and protected in case of a problem.

To study abroad in a European country such as Spain, it is possible to obtain a free EHIC (European Health Insurance Card).

It allows its holder to benefit from health care coverage during his stay in the European Union.

Visit the Social Security website for more information.

Students under 20 years of age can be reimbursed by their parents' health insurance company even when they go to study abroad. To do so, they must meet three conditions:

• attend an institution preparing them for a formal degree;
• provide a certificate of attendance;
• return to France at least once during the academic year.

Urgent medical expenses must nevertheless be paid locally: invoices and proof of payment must be kept in order to be reimbursed by the health insurance fund once in France. However, in countries where health care costs are high, it is common for the French patient to have a significant out-of-pocket expense.

For the little "everyday ailments" such as a cold, flu or gastroenteritis, you should not have to pay much if you are treated in the public health centers in Spain.

However, the health coverage provided by the EHIC will not always be sufficient (specialist consultations) and waiting times for appointments can be long in the public sector. Furthermore, the EHIC cannot be used if you visit a private health care provider.

Students can register with the student social security system in their country, the generic social security system, join the Caisse des Français à l'étranger (CFE) or take out international insurance from the first euro. With this type of solution, you are covered from the first euro spent and you benefit from other guarantees (repatriation assistance, civil liability insurance, etc.) and services (third-party payment, direct payment of hospitalization costs, etc.) that are very useful abroad.
