According to Circular 1/2002 of the Comunidad Aut?noma Valenciana, EU citizens resident in the provinces of Alicante, Castell?n and Valencia, who are neither pensioners nor employed persons, are entitled to full health care under the Spanish State Social Security system.
They should apply, referring to ?la extensi?n de asistencia sanitaria a demanda seg?n la Circular 1/2002?, for a ?tarjeta sanitaria? at their local medical centre, where they will be required to produce your passport and a recently-issued ?padr?n? certificate, and to complete an application form.
If the medical centre staff are unaware of this entitlement, they should be asked to contact the following department, whose head will be happy to confirm the facts. However many Health Centers are even refusing to do this - in addition to which, we have received many complaints of rudeness.
