The Spanish Healthcare System
Main (public) healthcare system is funded through tax dollars and government funds.
Private sector is funded through private investment and payment.
Payment
Patient payment for services is covered by the Spanish healthcare system.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for the patient.
Patient receives services and healthcare after proving that they are a Spanish citizen or permanent residence.
Access
100% of Spanish citizens are covered.
Non-nationals who contribute to the Social Security Network and their family members are also covered by public healthcare.
Immigrants who are not citizens of the EU but are registered residents can obtain private healthcare.
Illegal immigrants have the right to emergency care and mother and child attendance.
Influence of Socioeconomic Status
Economic status does not effect Spanish access to healthcare.
A Spanish citizen can receive care whether or not they are contributing to Social Security.
