Does anyone have a definite answer as to what documents are needed to get the new health card from the Cabo Roig surgery? My husband is kept waiting hours every time he goes there and given different answrs every time. He is diabetic so he really needs this card as private insurance will not cover pre-existing conditions.
His situation is that he is a resident here but any work he does is for people in England or America - therefore he is not paying contributions in Spain.
To date he has been told he needs a padron, residencia, passport, social security number from Orihuela. the latter he does not have. At one stage the surgery told him to get a letter from the Health people in England saying he is no longer entitled to benefits there. He spent a few weeks getting this but then someone told him they need an official translation stamped by the consulate in Alicante.
Does anyone really know what is needed as they appear to be changing the rules on a weekly basis.
