When choosing health insurance in Spain, you may encounter the concept of copago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copay<\/strong> \u2014 is a co-payment for each use of medical services, in addition to the monthly payment for the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude7a How does it work?<\/strong>
Every time you visit a doctor, have tests or receive a medical consultation, you pay a small fixed amount. The amount of this amount depends on the insurance package you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. For those who rarely see doctors: If you are in good health and rarely use medical services, copago will help you save on monthly premiums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Young or active individuals: If you lead a healthy lifestyle and only see doctors for preventive checkups, such plans can be financially beneficial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
