We answer questions on our health insurance for self-employed workers.

Why is it advisable for self-employed workers to take out health insurance?

As a self-employed worker, your time is money and your health is the foundation of your business. Health insurance for self-employed workers offers flexible and fast care, which is crucial:

 

  • Avoid long waiting lists for consultations, diagnostic tests and procedures.

  • Direct access to specialists without having to visit the GP.

  • Flexible hours so that medical appointments interfere as little as possible with your work.

  • Tax advantages: the health insurance for self-employed workers premium is a deductible expense in the income tax return.

What are the tax advantages of health insurance for self-employed workers?

In Spain, health insurance can be a deductible expense for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) under the direct estimate scheme. You can deduct up to €500 per year for your insurance.

What cover should I look for in my health insurance for self-employed workers?

Among the health insurance policies for self-employed workers, DKV offers DKV Profesional, a tailor-made insurance plan where you can choose the options that interest you most: primary care, specialists and surgery and hospitalisation.

 

Generally, if you're looking for comprehensive health insurance, the cover your insurance should include is:

 

  • General medicine and specialists: Access to an extensive medical directory with all specialities.

  • Diagnostics: High-tech tests (MRIs, CT scans, etc.) and clinical analysis.

  • Surgical procedures and hospitalisation: Coverage of hospital and surgical expenses.

  • 24-hour emergency care: Immediate assistance.

  • Digital Services (Telemedicine): Video consultations, medical chats, and online guidance are essential to ensure you don't have to interrupt your work.

What is the difference between a health insurance policy for self-employed workers "with copayment" and "without copayment"?

Choosing the type of insurance policy is very important, and it will depend on how often you use medical services:

 

  • Insurance without copayment: You pay one higher monthly premium, but you do not pay any additional amount when you use a service (consultation, test, etc.). It's ideal if you think you'll need regular doctor visits, specialists, or tests.

  • Insurance with copayment: The monthly premium is lower, but you must pay a small amount (the copayment) each time you use a medical service. It is the most cost-effective option if you only visit the doctor occasionally.

Do insurance policies for self-employed workers cover sick leave (Temporary Disability)?

Temporary Disability (or sick leave) cover due to illness or accident is a complementary and essential product for the self-employed worker offered by DKV, like the insurance policy DKV Renta.

 

This insurance guarantees you the payment of daily compensation (income) that you choose, so that you can maintain your income and cover the fixed expenses of your business during the time you cannot work. It is the economic protection that prevents an illness from becoming a financial risk.

What digital services does my DKV health insurance include as a self-employed worker?

DKV insurance stands out for its digital-first approach, which saves time for the self-employed worker:

 

  • Unlimited video consultations: With primary care doctors and specialists.

  • 24-hour medical chat: To get answers to your specific health questions anytime, anywhere.

  • Electronic prescriptions: So that medication can be prescribed for you without needing an appointment.

  • DKV Activa app to manage your insurance, invoices, authorisations, etc.

Also, if you take out DKV Personal Doctor, you will have an app to manage your health and your insurance. You'll have the peace of mind of a "personal doctor", who will be your digital guide and adviser to support you and refer you to specialists when you need it, as well as a health assistant to process authorisations and medical appointments, so you don't have to complete these procedures yourself.

Does my DKV insurance include dental cover?

Yes. Unlike many other insurers, most of DKV's health insurance policies for self-employed workers, such as DKV Profesional or DKV Integral, now include a free dental service, with a significant number of treatments at no additional cost and large discounts on the rest.

If I travel abroad for work, am I covered by my DKV policy?

Yes, DKV's health insurance policies include worldwide travel assistance, which in the event of an emergency or unplanned incident guarantees the provision of medical assistance abroad, with cover of up to €30,000 on trips of up to 180 days.

 

If you opt for DKV Mundisalud reimbursement insurance, this cover is much broader, allowing you to visit any doctor in the world and receive reimbursement for 90% of your expenses abroad.

What is the "Accounting Management" service that DKV offers to self-employed workers?

It is a key added bonus for the self-employed. If you take out DKV Famedic Profesional, you'll get an accounts management service through Contasimple's Factuconta tool, to facilitate invoicing, accounting, and tax calculations, helping you optimise the time spent on administrative tasks for your business.
