Advantages of health insurance for people over 65 years of age

Without questioning the quality of the public health system in Spain, which is difficult to improve, the truth is that the coronavirus crisis has sharpened its Achilles heel, which is none other than waiting lists.

For people who are relatively young and suffer from minor ailments, delays in consultations with the specialist or in small interventions can be bearable.

But this is not the case for people over 65 years of age. Around that age, it is easier for ailments to become more acute or chronic. That's why agility in consultations, diagnoses and treatments is essential in these cases.

In addition, Senior Health and Welfare Insurance offers people who are well past the threshold of maturity the following advantages:

• The attention of a personal health advisor, who serves as a guide for the insured and who carries out all the necessary procedures for the preservation of their health.
• A health status assessment plan, 100% personalized for each person.
• The best health care by highly qualified medical specialists.
• Disease prevention plans.
• Continuous monitoring of the health status of the insured, whether or not they are sick.
• A price of the insurance premium that is difficult to improve.

In conclusion, health insurance for people over 65 is the ideal solution for these people they do not have to worry about the possible aggravation of their ailments during the periods that they remain on the waiting list.
