Healthcare in Andorra
What to expect if you need medical care
Andorra delivers excellent healthcare, and English flows easily from doctors and nurses alike. That quality, however, is matched by steep prices: expect to shell out $1,200 for every day you spend in hospital and around $800 for a standard ER visit. Because Andorra sits outside the EU healthcare system, you settle the bill on the spot unless your insurer foots it.
What Your Policy Should Cover
Country-specific considerations for Andorra
Choose a policy that carries at least $250,000 in medical coverage. Confirm it covers skiing accidents, moderate risk in winter, and mountain hiking injuries, a moderate risk year-round. Double-check that winter sports protection is spelled out if you plan to ski, and ensure mountain rescue is included for any hiking or climbing. Altitude sickness is rare, yet high-altitude pursuits may still demand specialized coverage.

How Much Coverage Do You Need?
Our recommendation based on Andorra's healthcare costs
That $250,000 figure is no random number. It mirrors Andorra's steep medical prices. Hospital days at $1,200 add up fast during a prolonged recovery, and while evacuation to Spanish hospitals is seldom required, the potential cost is still real. The amount is large enough to shield you from financial shock yet not so high that insurers balk.
