U.S. Consulate General Paseo Reina Elisenda 23 – 08034 Barcelona, Spain Tel: (34) 93-280-2227 – Fax: (34) 93-280-6175 Email: [email protected] Web Site: https://es.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/barcelona/ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Medical List This list is prepared by the Consular Section of the Consulate General of the United States of America in Barcelona, Spain. This list covers the U.S. Consulate General’s consular district consisting of: The Autonomous Community of Catalonia; Provinces of Barcelona, Lleida, Tarragona and Girona, The Autonomous Community of Aragon; Provinces of Zaragoza, Huesca and Teruel, and the Principality of Andorra. DISCLAIMER: The U.S. Consulate General in Barcelona, Spain assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the medical professionals, medical facilities or air ambulance services whose names appear on the following list. Inclusion on this list is in no way an endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Consulate General. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. The information in the list on professional credentials and areas of expertise is provided directly by the medical professional, medical facility or air ambulance service; the Consulate General is not in a position to vouch for such information. You may receive additional information about the individuals and facilities on the list by contacting local medical boards and associations (or its equivalent) or local licensing authorities. Good medical care is available in Spain. However, regulations regarding medications vary from those in the United States. Spanish regulations do not permit the international shipment of medication; do not ship medication from the United States to Spain. Spanish customs authorities will reject and return to the U.S. medication shipped from the United States. Medications which require prescriptions in the United States require a local doctor’s prescription in Spain. In some instances, a medicine prescribed in the United States will not have a local equivalent. It is important that travelers research this in the European Agency for Medication website prior to travel. Emergency services are responsive and reliable though the emergency services number, 112. Ambulances and other emergency vehicles are equipped with the most-advanced life support equipment. We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas. Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage. We strongly recommend supplemental insurance (our webpage) to cover medical evacuation. If traveling with prescription medication, check with the Government of Spain to ensure the medication is legal in Spain. Always, carry your prescription medication in original packaging with your doctor’s prescription. Vaccinations: Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
