Private Health Cover for emergency

Some form of collusion would not surprise me at all given the general corruption in Spain

It should be pointed out that Private Health Insurance Policies offered by Spanish Insurers & Travel insurance Policies offered for non-resident 'tourists' have very different conditions attached to them. 

So anyone reading this should make sure they are not getting the wrong advice.

I unfortunately have 1st hand experience of this. This is an old thread so I won't go into detail here.

From my experience with a few private health insurance companies - the policy will dictate what happens.
All of my previous ones stated that in the case of an emergency that I can be treated in any hospital. If once stable and requiring further treatment or care, they might transfer me to another hospital.
If I am going in a non-emergency situation, I must either use one of the approved medical centres (usual links on the websites) or that I can go anywhere I like, but they will only reimburse XX% of costs (Previous policy 90%, current policy 80%)

Bumping this topic to ask for a recommendation of a private health insurance provider for me and my girlfriend. Obviously English speaking insurance broker would be preferable, since me and my girlfriend are just learning Spanish. Smile

I am considering Sabadell bank, since I am already their client for my Banking needs and am happy with their customer support (in English!) but still am open for other options...
