Avoid DKV Spain for health insurance
General comment: DKV ignores the paying customer.
Specific examples of my problems with DKV:
• Changeover copayment to non-copayment (for permanent residency): DKV charged me for the new policy as well as the old despite having both policies with DKV. It took me about half a year of lengthy communications by phone, e-mail and through their patient portal to get part of the double charge back.
• Another problem with DKV that I had: DKV’s failure to refund a blood test as requested by the GP after an apparent recurring pneumonia; DKV consistently ignored all detailed information as provided to them.
• So far DKV still bombards me with advertisements although I cancelled my health insurance policy with them already for over half a year.
• My new health insurance policy, with a different Spanish health insurance company, costs me some 40% less than what I paid to DKV!
In my opinion it seems best to avoid DKV. In any case, don’t pay DKV upfront for a whole year.
