Who pays for dialysis in Benidorm?
- EU/EEA and Swiss residents: a valid EHIC covers dialysis at public units in Spain, and at private units contracted to the national health system, on the same terms as local patients. The session still has to be arranged with the unit before you travel.
- UK residents: the UK GHIC (or a UK EHIC that hasn't expired) works the same way for state-provided dialysis. Ask the unit to confirm it accepts GHIC when you book.
- Everyone else, or at a private unit outside the public system: you pay per session and claim back through your travel insurance or home insurer where your policy allows.
- US Medicare patients: Original Medicare generally does not pay for dialysis outside the US. Some Medicare Advantage and private plans include limited cover abroad, so check yours before you go.
When to book
Book 6–8 weeks ahead, or 3 months ahead for July and August on the coasts and islands, when units take many visiting patients. Peak season in Benidorm: July–August, plus long-stay winter visitors from October to April.

Wheelchair rental in Benidorm
Long days, dialysis fatigue and unfamiliar streets add up. Renting a wheelchair or mobility scooter for your stay in Benidorm saves your energy for the things you came to do.
- Book a few weeks ahead in peak season and ask for delivery to your hotel, so the chair is waiting when you arrive.
- Tell the supplier your weight, seat width and how you'll use it — a lightweight folding chair for taxis, or a power chair or scooter for longer distances.
- Ask your airline for free wheelchair assistance at both airports when you book your flight; it's separate from renting a chair for your stay.
- Check the dialysis unit and your hotel have step-free access, and whether the unit can lend a chair between the entrance and your station.
