Hi All

I have recently joined the Spanish Health System being a pensioner. I still have Sanitas Health Insurance at present and had a prescription from a local private hospital. The local pharmacy told me that such a prescription does not qualify for any subsidy even though I am on the Spanish Health System now. Does anyone have experience of this?

you need to take the private prescription to your national health doctor &see whether he will write out a NH prescription, which is the only way yuo'll get them free/cheap.

Ron,

 
At three ambulatorias, which I know, there is a sign which says private prescriptions cannot be ‘converted’ to national healthy ones. 
 

However, that said, I have on occasions shown the national health doctor the private prescription and asked what she would suggest I be prescribed under the health service.  (based on the understanding that if I had gone to them with the condition what would they have done.)

 

On each occasion I have been given a prescription.

(at one time my national health doctor was also my private doctor)

 

PS  Please understand that that when I use the term 'National Health' it is to convey an understanding  of free medical treatment,  to those who may not be familiar with the 'Seguridad social.'      I should thus be grateful if a couple of posters don’t chose to tell me that National Health does not apply to Spain.
