Paying and claiming it back

You pay us directly — by card through a secure Stripe link, Bizum, bank transfer or cash — there's no waiting for insurer authorisation before you're seen. We issue an invoice and a medical report so you can submit a claim to your travel insurer afterwards. Always check your policy's terms with your insurer directly. Read more about how this works.

Does my EHIC or GHIC card cover this? No. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) only cover treatment within Spain's public healthcare system (Seguridad Social) — they don't apply to private services like ours, regardless of nationality. This is a private, direct-pay visit; travel insurance reimbursement (not EHIC/GHIC) is the right route if your policy covers it.

Good to have ready: a form of photo ID, your travel insurance policy details if you plan to claim afterwards, and — if relevant — the name of any medication you're currently taking or allergic to. None of this is required to request a visit; it just speeds up the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I request a home doctor visit?

Message us on WhatsApp with your address and what's going on — we'll confirm the zone, arrival window and price before the doctor sets off.

How much does a home visit cost?

From €80. Fuengirola and Mijas are our base areas at €80; Benalmádena, Marbella and Málaga are €120 total (€80 base rate + €40 extended-area fee). We confirm the exact price on WhatsApp before the visit.

Do you see children?

Yes, we see patients from age 13 upwards. For younger children, message us on WhatsApp and we'll assess the specific case before booking.

Do you charge travel insurance directly?

No, payment is made directly by the patient. We can provide an invoice and a medical report so you can claim reimbursement from your travel insurer afterwards.

Can you visit me in a hotel or Airbnb?

Yes. We visit private homes, hotels and holiday apartments across the covered areas of the Costa del Sol.

What if I only need advice, not a home visit?

For situations that don't require a physical examination, an online consultation by chat is available for €35, with the same doctor, including an electronic prescription when applicable.

Does my EHIC or GHIC card cover this service?

No. The EHIC and UK GHIC only cover treatment within Spain's public healthcare system (Seguridad Social), not private services like ours. This is a private, direct-pay visit — travel insurance reimbursement, not EHIC/GHIC, is the right route if your policy covers it.

This service does not replace emergency services. In a potentially serious or life-threatening situation, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
