Medical Insurance

If you are from the US, MEDEX has some really great policies and they actually PAY THE CLAIM if you have one. In cases where you are in-patient, they will actually pay UP FRONT, and in cases where there is outpatient service provided, the turn-around for payment is pretty reasonable, usually within 60 days...

Mind you, this is primarily for emergency stuff, but the policy is reasonably priced, I think...around 1,000.00 US per year depending on the policy choice. I use their temporary policies whenever I travel. Good company.

International Travel Insurance, Medical & Security Evacuation - MEDEX

Sorry, no idea about actual Dominican policies, though I would be dubious about payment and conditions. Reading Spanish contracts is an experience...
