| MedSave.com Offers 'Rate Your Health Insurance'
MedSave.com's new management team announces that the Web site will tackle the tricky issues of Web 2.0 interactivity while preserving its unique reputation for personal service in the field of high-quality, low-cost health insurance and short-term medical insurance. This summer, the Web site will offer consumers the ability to rate their health insurance online, while the OnlineAdviser service will continue to provide independent enrollment support. (PRWEB) July 15, 2007 -- MedSave.com announced plans today to offer a free consumer-rating service for health insurance in the late summer of 2007. While this has facilitated consumer-driven public ratings of most other products and services, this type of "Web 2.0" communication has not significantly affected the health insurance industry.
Spanish healthcare system
But because the system is highly regionalised, with each region exercising its own autonomy, complications may arise. In the story 'Don't be left counting the Costa' in Issue 833, we said permanent and semi-permanent expatriates should register with the authorities and obtain a residencia residence card which gives access to state-run healthcare. But this is not a guarantee. Below is advice based on that supplied by the British consulate in Madrid www.britishembassy.gov.uk/Files/KFile/living-spain.pdf. Their highlighted points are in bold. VISITORS UK residents on "short-term" visits to Spain are covered for emergency treatment if they produce the European Health Insurance Card (Ehic). Dental care, other than emergencies, are not covered. Private hospitals will not accept Ehic and may demand cash in advance.
