Private Health Cover for emergency

[Spitfire58]

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.

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...
