My SSP: Student Support Program 24/7

Morneau Shepell or My SSP is a virtual counseling service. If you study abroad during at least six weeks, you have access to text or call a therapist 24 hours a day via an app on your phone for support.

You can follow these instructional videos on how Morneau Shepell (My SPP) work, and how to properly download the app on your phone.

Pharmacies

Pharmacies (farmacias) are usually the first choice for the treatment of any non-urgent symptoms or basic health needs. If you do not need to see a doctor, but need advice about the appropriate over-the-counter medication, consulting with the local pharmacist is the quickest, easiest (and cheapest) solution and readily available as there is even a rotational 24-hour pharmacy (farmacia de guardia) open in each neighborhood- please consult the following website for up-to-date list.

*The pharmacy located in the Plaza de Alfalfa is open 9.00-22.00h,  7 days per week, 365 days per year and usually has English speaking staff available

Health Centers

If you feel that you must see a physician or require prescription medication, past students have preferred to use the two following medical centers as same-day appointments are usually available and relatively cheap: approxiamtely 30-60€ for a general practice physician and  80-120€ for a specialist; payable in cash or by credit card.

It is STRONGLY recomended that you call ahead and request an appointment, otherwise you might have to wait several hours for the next available opening. Also, if you require an english-speaking practitioner, you should always call ahead to request. The guys from Schlüsseldienst Bremen strongly advise you to take good care of yourself and see a doctor on time.

Please keep in mind, that health centers are open Monday -Friday during normal business hours and therefore closed evenings, weekends and public holidays.

*The following list of hospitals, clinics and services has been compiled to assist participants who require medical services and while every effort has been made to only include the names of organizations and individuals with favorable reputations, CIEE Seville assumes no responsibility nor liability for the activites of the entities and persons listed.

24/7 Hospitals for urgent matters

Clínica Santa Isabel
Tel: (+34) 696-190-574
Avenida Luis Montoto, 100

Past students prefer this 24/7 fully functioning hospital even for normal/non-urgent health matters as it has a special unit dedicated to helping foreigners as well as a 24/7 helpline that will arrange an appointment with an English-speaking doctor/specialist. If an English-speaking practitioner is not available, they will accompany you and provide translation assistance. While not required, it is STRONGLY recommended that you call ahead to arrange this service through Clinica Santa Isabel’s «international» unit.

Hospital Fatima (see below) also has a 24/7 helpline and dedicated unit to help international patients, although past students have preferred to use Clinica Santa Isabel as it tends to be more economical.

Fially, few hospitals are cheaper than the Hospital Cruz Roja/Victoria Eugenia (see below) where, for no additional fees, it is possible to obtain a health card for this hospital which will provide you extremely eocnomical rates.

iNEXT

The iNext plan does provide coverage for mental health.  It provides coverage if someone were to have a sudden and unexpected need to seek care for a condition that started while they are abroad, or for a condition that they may have been treated for in the US that was under control, but once abroad suddenly changed and warranted them to seek care.  If someone is receiving regular in person therapy in the US, and wants to continue this coverage while abroad, that would not be covered under the iNext plan.  It would need to be a sudden and unexpected change to their condition that caused them to seek medical care.

The policy works on a reimbursement basis, so the participant would seek care and then file a claim for reimbursement.  With the Supplemental plans, they are secondary, so they will need to file with their US primary insurance as well and send a copy of the Explanation of Benefit form showing if they paid or denied the claim.

There is the Lifeworks My SSP coverage that is available for the participants that are enrolled into it as well.  I have attached the Welcome Letter that the students receive when they are enrolled into this coverage.

Participants are able to call or chat with an advisor/counselor 24/7.  They can receive support for an individual issue, or if they want to have ongoing support, they are able to schedule appointments.  This coverage is confidential for the participant and does not cost them any fees to utilize the service.  It is designed to provide support for participants before things get to a level where they are in need of emergent medical care.

They will download the app to their phone.  The Student Support Program app provides a great deal of information for them on different areas.  It is a great tool for them to have.

All CIEE students are insured by iNext travelinsurance policy designed to help cover the cost of accidents and/or illness (amongst other travel emergencies) while abroad. Please note that theiNext insurance is designed as a secondary policy;students covered by a personal/parental/school insurance plan should continue that coverage while in Spain, and MUST use that as their primary insurance.For a complete description of the benefits and provisions of the iNext plan, please read the policy information you received from CIEE (unless you upgraded to a different policy) or visit their website www.inext.com.
