Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

In non-emergency cases, the insured must contact MAPFRE ESPAÑA before incurring any expenses. In medical emergencies, the insured may go directly to a hospital without prior authorization. Expenses incurred without prior insurer authorization are not reimbursable except in medical emergencies.

Unauthorized treatment

Expenses incurred directly by the insured or beneficiaries without prior insurer authorization are not reimbursable, unless expressly provided for in the policy or in cases of medical emergency. If costs exceed the covered limits, the insured must pay the difference directly.

Purchase while abroad

The policy must be contracted before travel begins to ensure full coverage. The coverage applies to trips with a maximum duration of 90 consecutive days from departure. Trips planned to last more than 90 days are not covered, including the first 90 days of such trips.

Chronic conditions

In the event of a vital emergency derived from a pre-existing or chronic illness, only the costs of first-aid treatment until medical stabilization are covered. Planned or routine treatment of chronic conditions is not covered.

Pregnancy

Medical assistance for newborns (up to 28 days old) not listed in the policy is only covered for births occurring during travel due to unforeseeable pregnancy complications, up to 30% of the insured mother's capital. Planned deliveries abroad are not covered.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are defined as any illness or injury whose symptoms began before the policy was taken out and that are known to the insured or their family. Coverage is limited to first-aid treatment until stabilization in the event of a vital emergency. No coverage is provided for non-emergency pre-existing conditions.

Coverage duration limit

Coverage applies to trips of a maximum of 90 consecutive days. Trips intended to last more than 90 days are entirely excluded from coverage, including their first 90 days. If a covered claim forces the insured to extend their stay beyond 90 days, coverage is automatically extended for that insured during the prolonged stay.

Direct payment

In medical emergencies, the insured may go directly to a hospital. In non-emergencies, MAPFRE must be contacted first for prior authorization. Reimbursement of expenses incurred without prior insurer authorization is not permitted except in cases of medical emergency or as otherwise specified in the policy.
