Health insurance with and without copayments
Insurance with copayments vs insurance without copayments: what does it mean and which one is better for you?
Healthcare is a priority for many these days, and health insurance plays a crucial role. When choosing a policy, it’s important to pay close attention to all the terms and conditions of the health insurance contract, such as whether or not if it has copayments or not.But what do we mean when we talk about copayments and how does it apply to your health insurance policy?
What are copayments in health insurance?
Copayment refers to the amount of money the policyholder has to pay each time they use the medical services included in the policy. This amount is in addition to any premiums paid by the insurance.
The type of medical treatment that copayments are usually applied to include GP consultations, specialist consultations, diagnostic tests, therapeutic treatments and even hospitalisations and emergencies.
Of course, this raises the cost of any trip to the doctor’s, though the price of the copayment may vary depending on the exact medical service and the terms and conditions of the contract. For example, hospitalisations and advanced diagnostic tests normally involve a higher copayment than a simple consultation with the GP.
Health insurance without copayments
Thankfully, it’s also possible to get health insurance that involves no copayments at all, where it’s only the insurance premium that has to be paid. This type of health insurance policy gives you more peace of mind as no additional payments are required to be able to access the benefits and services guaranteed by the policy.
This is especially good for expats living in Spain as having a private medical insurance policy without copayments is one of the essential requirements to get a residency permit in Spain.
The health insurance policies from ASSSA have no copayments, and so there are never any hidden fees or extra payments to be made. As soon as you pay your premiums, you have access to all the benefits included in the policy, including medical, surgical and hospital coverage.
