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

As a self-employed worker, your health is key to being able to continue working. A health insurance policy for the self-employed offers you speed, flexibility and peace of mind in taking care of your health. Its advantages include:

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

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

  • Flexible medical appointments, adapted to your work schedule.

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

What tax relief does health insurance for the self-employed offer?

In Spain, if you pay taxes using direct assessment, you can deduct up to €500 per year, per insured person from your personal income tax (IRPF).

This makes health insurance for the self-employed a profitable investment, both for your well-being and for your business.

What cover should a good health insurance policy for the self-employed include?

If you are looking for a comprehensive health insurance policy, make sure it includes the following essential cover:

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

  • Diagnostic tests (analysis, MRIs, CT scans, etc.).

  • Surgery and hospitalisation: Coverage of hospital and surgical expenses.

  • 24-hour emergency care: both in emergency medical centres and at home.

  • Digital services: Video consultations, medical chats, and online guidance are essential to ensure you don't have to interrupt your working day.

What is the difference between a health insurance policy 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 a higher monthly premium, but you pay nothing when using the service (consultation, test, etc.). It is ideal if you visit the doctor frequently.

  • 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 health insurance policies for the self-employed cover sick leave?

Not directly, but you can add supplementary cover.

With DKV, you can take out a sick leave insurance policy(Temporary Disability) that guarantees you daily compensation if an illness or accident prevents you from working. This way, you can maintain your income and cover your business expenses while you recover.
