INSS offices for public healthcare in Spain

The right branch can depend on your case

These offices, known as CAISS, are the information and service centres of the INSS. They recognise your right to public healthcare and can add eligible family members, while the regional health card is requested separately afterwards. You can also apply online or by post instead of going in, and offices receive visitors in their own way.
