Travel Insurance from U.S.
Question is not if they pay
The real question is not if they will pay the clinic, its when they will pay the clinic! The clinics do not want and will not wait 2-3 months to get their money.
Blue cross would have paid CEDIMAT but when CEDIMAT found out that the letter of guarantee was now, and payment would be in about 3 months, they said no way. :bunny:

local!!!!! humano, universal pacsalud, etc. but not off island ones. An no I don't blame the clinics at all. I had to wait the 3 months after I paid CEDIMAT, was not good.
Several years ago I was a patient at Centro Medico Bournigal in Puerto Plata. I have Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance (with out of area coverage).
The hospital verified my coverage before admitting me and informed me that my stay would be covered in full. They asked for an imprint of my credit card in case of payment difficulties. When I was discharged, I was not asked for any payment.
Blue Cross paid them as soon as I completed the necessary paperwork. No charge was ever placed on my credit card.
Back when I had bc and bs they had the actual clinics listed on their web site that were providers in the DR. People should make themselves aware of this before travel. I have a feeling that the per trip travel ins. cos. only reimburse. Still waiting for someone to chime in otherwise.
