Hi all - I injured my leg in mid June along the Camino Frances. I went to the hospital in Lugo and was seen in the ER. They xrayed my leg (not broken), checked for an infection (thankfully no) and I received intravenous naproxen for the swelling. I was diagnosed with tendonitis, was told to rest for 2 days and get a prescription for a 7-day course of naproxen filled at the local farmacia. I did all those things.
I gave my home address and travel insurance information to the intake people at the hospital. But to date, I have not received a bill nor do I think anything has been submitted to my travel insurance company on my behalf.
Does anyone have experience with hospital billing in Spain to know what their procedures are? Do they submit a bill to my insurance? Do they just send a bill to me (back in the US)? How much time does all this take?
Thanks, in advance, for any insight or experience you all have.
