Medical care in Barcelona

Do I have to pay the Doctor directly?

Medical fees are paid directly to the Doctor. The doctor will issue you an invoice so your insurance can reimburse you when you return home.

I can pay with my credit card?

YES, the doctor has a credit card terminal in case you want to pay the fees by credit card.

How long does it take for the doctor to arrive?

Around 30 minutes. However, our Call Centre confirms each case in order to have as much information as possible.

What languages do they speak?

What advantages do I enjoy at the hospital if I have travel insurance?

With your travel insurance or medical care, you’ll be assisted in your language upon arrival at the hospital; the procedures will be managed with your insurance, prioritising you proceeding to the ER as fast as possible.
