Schengen Visa Insurance

Question:

I am an American citizen currently living in Madrid, Spain. I currently have health insurance covering my stay in Madrid until August 14, 2017, but I will need additional coverage to cover my time in Madrid until the end of September 2017. According to the Spanish government, I need a plan that follows these guidelines: "Insurance coverage for urgent medical expenses and repatriation due to accident or sudden illness. Minimum coverage $50,000 with no deductible." After looking through some options on the Insubuy site, I had some questions in regard to the insurance plan I should choose: 1. When I look at the plans on the Insubuy website, all I see are policy maximums. If the minimum coverage I need is $50,000, how do I know which plan to select? Is the minimum coverage the same as the policy maximum? 2. How do I know if the plan covers repatriation? 3. Upon purchase of the insurance plan online with Insubuy, do I get a document that confirms my insurance and the details of my plan? Can that document be sent my email immediately? (I would need to show this document to the Spanish government for visa purposes)
