Greece Insurance Information |
| |
Greece is a very beautiful country with hundreds of islands, thousands of coastlines and ports, mountains, and vast seas. The uniqueness of the country’s landscape makes it a paradise for outdoor sports activities. Greece is also the land of ancient sites and architectural treasures, among all, the best-known sites include the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, and the reconstructed palace at Knossos. The country also offers spectacular natural sights such as Santorini’s caldera, the gray pinnacles of rock of the Meteora, modern elegant museums and luxury resorts. It is definitely a place to visit if you love quality Greek cuisine and music.
The healthcare system in Greece is comprised of public and private medical services. The Greek public healthcare system provides free or low cost healthcare for those who contribute to the Greek social security fund. It also covers their families and retirees (including those from other EU countries). In general, members are charged 25 per cent of the actual cost of prescriptions; however, this may vary for non-essential medicines. There are also substantial contributions for many services, including optometry, dentures and other treatment. Essential dental treatment is largely free.
For those who are not qualified for public healthcare, it is essential to put in place a private health insurance. This is recommended in any case if you can afford it, owing to the inadequacy of public healthcare services and long waiting lists for specialist appointments and non-urgent operations in some areas throughout Greece. Visitors are advised to obtain holiday health insurance if they are not covered by a reciprocal arrangement. For all EU Health Card holders, only basic medical care is provided, for additional coverage on eventualities such as emergency evacuation, it is advised to purchase extra holiday insurance.
If you are looking for peace-of-mind knowing that medical costs will be covered in case of an accident or illness for yourself and your family while travelling to Greece, an international medical insurance plan will be the optimal solution for you. Plans can be tailored-made to give you flexibility, meet your individual needs, and may include benefits such as travel, maternity, dental and many other conditions. Should you require further information on Greece, global medical insurance, or receive a free consultation, please do not hesitate to call one of our expert advisers now.
