Is Your Private Health Insurance In Safe Hands?

It has been in the news recently that a large provider of private health insurance in Spain is being taken over by another insurance company. After doing some research we have discovered that this new health insurance provider will not have an Expat division so finding an English-speaking Doctor or specialist or member of staff might now prove difficult for those holding a policy with them. This is a worrying prospect and a few of our clients have contacted us to find out if the company involved is their provider and they are wondering if their policies are safe.

EL PERPETUO SOCORRO AND MILLIE MUNRO SERVICES

We are very pleased to inform you that all the Private Health Insurance policies held with Millie Munro Services are supplied by El Perpetuo Socorro. This highly regarded insurance company are neither of the companies involved in the takeover recently being spoken of in the news.

El Perpetuo Socorro is one of Spain's leading Health Insurance companies with an history of excellent service going back many years. Millie Munro Services is proud to have worked with El Perpetuo Socorro for a long time and the service that they provide our clients is of the utmost quality.

Millie Munro and another happy client

The truth is that many people who move to Spain are worried about what will happen if they become ill. Many do not understand the language and this causes anxiety in an already stressful situation. With a private health insurance plan from El Perpetuo Socorro, not only do you have 24-hour a day, 365-days-a-year cover but you have the ability to choose an English-speaking doctor from the wide range of medical professionals that work with the company. Speaking about El Perpetuo Socorro client Evelyn Bonfield says “We are so very pleased that we joined Millie Munro Services as our private medical provider. Having such a competent office to deal with gives us such peace of mind and I can’t praise EPS enough for their continued help and support with our ongoing medical problems”.

Some private health insurance companies claim not to raise the price of their policies as you get older - ‘The Age you Join is The Age you Stay’ - but it is important to note that often if you make a claim for medical expenses, the following year your premium may increase dramatically, a bit like losing your ‘no claims’ bonus! El Perpetuo Socorro premiums will rise with medical inflation, as will happen with all Spanish Health companies, but El Perpetuo Socorro premiums will not increase simply because you have used the service.

We are also pleased to inform you that El Perpetuo Socorro employ English staff at their head office, some who have been with the Company for over 18 years. They truly are the best choice for Private Health Insurance for the Expat in Spain. Of course, the staff at Millie Munro Services are also available 24/7 which is a great relief to many people. Client Hilary Petrie writes “Fantastic service from Millie Munro Services. Extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble even when I rang at the weekend and outside office hours”.
