International Health Insurance and Private Rheumatology in Barcelona

Some international health insurance policies allow patients to consult specialists outside their provider network and submit eligible expenses for reimbursement.

If you are living in Barcelona and have international private health insurance, our rheumatology team at Centro Médico Teknon can provide information about arranging an appointment and the administrative documentation available.

Coverage, reimbursement limits, authorisation requirements and claims procedures depend on your individual policy. We recommend checking these conditions directly with your insurance provider before arranging your consultation.
