News - Torrevieja, Alicante Province Costa Blanca Spain
A woman , an expat , was involved in an accident with her car in San Miguel de Salinas near Torrevieja last week and fell foul of the medical help available here in Spain .
An ambulance took her to Cabo Roig health centre for emergency treatment and despite contributing to the social security system the attendant insisted that without a SIP card she would have to pay for her treatment .
They removed the glass from the wound on her arm and charged her 105 euros .
She then tried to acquire a SIP card and was refused as she was not on the padron and had no certificate of residency and could not do this until October .
She returned to Cabo Roig where they now said that with the social security the treatment would be free but at San Miguel they would not accept her social security .
Eventually she ended up in Torrevieja hospital where she was told that she had to pay on the spot .
Since then a San Miguel spokesperson has said that EU citizens should be entitled to emergency treatment with only a passport .
