The full contract is the most expensive, but has the best coverage in Spain, in some cases it can quickly pay for itself. In that case, the insurance covers 100% of the fees of general and specialized medicine. It provides access to a large network of general practitioners, specialists, hospital assistance and travel assistance abroad.
