The foundations of the Andorran healthcare system
In Andorra, health is a priority. The system is based on a public model managed by the Andorran Social Security Fund (CASS). All workers and employers contribute to this scheme, which enables the financing of high-quality care accessible to all.
CASS registration, a legal obligation
To benefit from the health system, registration with CASS is compulsory. Salaried workers are affiliated via their employer, while self-employed workers must take the necessary steps themselves. Our team can help you easy registration.
