I am an American woman married to a Spaniard. We are planning to move to Spain in 2011, maybe sooner. I am a kidney transplant patient and wondered if I would be covered by the health care system in Spain for the immunosuppressant medication I need. Do I need to live in Spain for a certain period of time before I am covered, or would I be covered because I am married to a Spaniard? Would my prescriptions be covered?
Should we work with the Spanish Embassy in the USA before coming to Spain?
Thank you for any insight you can share!
