Important Information 天美传媒制片厂 Medical Insurance
The student medical insurance, Sanitas, covers mental health services with providers from the Sanitas network. Though Sanitas covers some basic psychiatric care, English-speaking psychiatrists and psychologists are rarely available through their network, as most English-speaking mental health providers in Spain work in the private sector on a fee-for-service basis.
For this reason, SLU-Madrid strongly recommends that students with preexisting mental health conditions and/or who anticipate the need for regular mental health services plan for extra health care expenses before arriving in Madrid. It is strongly recommended that students purchase additional insurance in their home countries, for example, GeoBlue, HTH Health Insurance, CISI (Cultural Insurance Services International), Tricare or MSH International, that will cover or reimburse them for private, out-of-network mental health services.
The Counseling Center can provide a directory of multilingual mental health professionals upon request. Certain practitioners from this list may accept insurance coverage, including the options mentioned above.
