Who pays for dialysis in Tenerife?

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 Tenerife: October–April (winter sun), plus school holidays.

Emergency numbers in Tenerife

In an emergency, call 112 for an ambulance. Tell the operator you're on dialysis and which unit treats you, and keep your access details and medication list with you.

112Ambulance, police and fire

Medical emergencies (most regions): 061
National police: 091
Fire: 080

112 is free and works from any mobile or landline across the EU, including foreign phones on roaming.

What the unit in Tenerife will ask for

Your current dialysis prescription (dialyser, dry weight, access, anticoagulation).
Blood results from the last 4–6 weeks, including virology (hepatitis B and C, HIV).
Records from your last few sessions and a current medication list.
A referral or fit-to-travel letter from your nephrologist.
An MRSA screen and recent ECG, if the unit asks for them.

Each unit has its own list — read the full travel guide or check entry requirements for Spain.

Wheelchair rental in Tenerife

Long days, dialysis fatigue and unfamiliar streets add up. Renting a wheelchair or mobility scooter for your stay in Tenerife 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.

Things to do in Tenerife around dialysis

Most people feel tired after a session, so keep treatment days light and save the big outings for days off. Effort ratings are a rough guide — you know your own energy best.

On session days

Easy
Los Cristianos seafront promenade
A flat promenade running towards Playa de las Américas, with benches and cafés all the way. Walk as far as you feel like and get a taxi back.
Easy
La Laguna old town
The UNESCO-listed former capital near Santa Cruz is compact and flat, with colourful colonial streets that are easy to see in an hour or two.
Easy
Whale and dolphin watching
Short boat trips leave from Los Cristianos and Puerto Colón most days. Pick a two-hour trip on a larger boat with shade and seating.

On free days

Moderate
Teide National Park and cable car
A drive through lunar landscapes to the cable car, which climbs to about 3,555 m. The altitude is hard work if you're anaemic, so ask your renal team before going up.
Moderate
Masca and Los Gigantes
A spectacular but very winding mountain road to the village of Masca, then the sheer Los Gigantes cliffs on the coast. Better as a tour than driving yourself.
Easy
Puerto de la Cruz
The north coast's old resort town, with a pretty harbour, botanical garden and Lago Martiánez seawater pools.

Tips for Tenerife on dialysis

Winter is peak season here, so book your sessions early for November to March, not just for summer.
With a healed fistula most renal teams are happy for you to swim; with a central line (catheter) you shouldn't. Check with your own team before you go.
