I wonder if anyone could answer a couple of questions please?
At present my husband and I live in France but are looking to relocate to Spain, to the Costa Blanca south area.
I am in receipt of a state pension and a teacher's pension. My husband is 3 years younger than me so he is my dependent (we have a form S1). Could this agreement continue in Spain?
Without taking any top up medical insurance, once we have registered with social security and got a health card;
What is the cover we would get if we had to go into hospital?
Would surgeon's fees and hospital bed fees be covered?
If we required xrays or scans, would these fees be covered or would we be required to pay a proportion, and if so, what percentage?
Would we have to pay for a doctor's appointment? (We do here but then are reimbursed a percentage).
Would the 10% contribution to prescriptions apply to my husband as well as myself (as happens here in France)?
Hope you can help with these questions. We have trawled the internet but can find nothing about one's 'allowances' on the Spanish basic healthcare system.
