Private medical insurance

[gus-lopez]

i was talkiung to a bloke recently who has private health care for himself as required to get residency 3 years ago. He took it out at age 55 & says he pays 700€/year but that includes all dentistry. No idea who it was with though?

family members use Sanitas and DKV which are good but could be very expensive for a new policy  for an over 60 year old  ie 1000,s per year

Not sure you will get an english speaking doc ,all the proffesions normally  learn english at uni but they might not use it in case of mis understanding ect.

As I am now a widower and now living on my own, I am thinking of taking out private health care which includes an English speaking Doctor, and also if for some reason I have to be hospitalised I can have an English speaking consutant/specialist.
Does anyone know if such a thing exists and if yes can you recommend anyone or company please.
I know in the UK there is BUPA which has its own doctors and hospital specialists so wondered if there was something similar here, but not as expensive as BUPA.
I have full residencia etc.
I hope this makes sense and would be very grateful of any advise as my Spanish is not good enough for hospitals etc. and I dont just want a translator., as being on my own now I may need 24 hour help, but hopefully not in the near future but one never knows.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you
