Mapfre's Reimbursement of Medical Expenses insurance policy, marketed by Bankinter, is available for people residing in Spain under the age of 65.

Children under 2 years old must be part of a policy that includes their father, mother or guardian to be insured.

With Healthcare Plus insurance, the insured can choose professionals of all specialties and medical centres from a medical guide without having to make any payments, except for any services that have an excess. Reimbursement insurance allows the insured to choose the professional or centre freely, with the insured paying for the care they receive first.

The newly-born children of the insured person will be included in the policy from the moment of their birth in identical conditions to those contracted by the insured person, not counting any grace periods other than those that were applicable to them and providing that the following requirements are met:

• That the inclusion of the newborn in the policy is requested within 10 business days from the date of birth by completing the application form.
• The insured (father or mother) joined at least 8 months prior to the birth.
• If these requirements are not met, the inclusion of the newborn will be subject to the insurance company's acceptance and contracting conditions, and the corresponding grace periods and exclusions may apply. If the newborn has any congenital illness or malformation, Mapfre guarantees that it will be accepted as long as the mother/father registers 8 months before the birth.

Yes, but only if the insured had contracted a health insurance policy. Grace periods shall be respected, except for the expenses of pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, study and treatment of fertility treatment and adoption. Membership must be applied for within 60 days of withdrawal from the previous entity, and a copy of the terms and conditions or health card, as well as the last bill paid, must be provided. The waving of grace periods does not imply the acceptance of any ailment, illness or accident prior to contracting or of a congenital nature.
