Întrebări frecvente
Do Spanish clinics have English-speaking staff?
Private international clinics in Madrid and Barcelona often do; most local clinics, rural doctors, and public health centers do not. AI Call lets you access the full Spanish healthcare system in English — both public and private.
Is it safe to use a translator for medical calls?
AI Call handles medical vocabulary accurately, including symptoms, medications, and body-part terms. For complex cases, the written transcript also gives you a reference to share with your doctor. It replaces nothing urgent — call 112 in a real emergency.
Can I call my pharmacy to check on a prescription?
Yes. Spanish pharmacies (farmacias) handle many questions by phone — stock checks, dose clarifications, repeat prescriptions. AI Call works with them exactly the same way.
What about medical billing and insurance in Spanish?
For private insurance (Sanitas, Adeslas, DKV, Mapfre), calls to check authorizations or reimbursements are routine. AI Call handles insurance terminology and policy numbers cleanly.
