Hi guys!
Any suggestion regarding a good and not too expensive Health Insurance? I also heard that some Insurance Company , when the insured reaches 65/70 years old, they will stop the insurance policy. Anyone have knowledge in this?
Thanks
If you're living here long term, get insurance. I'm still very young and am going to get insured soon. Most recently I had my gallbladder taken out here and had to pay that out of pocket even though the clinic was inside the blue cross network. If you have the means to fly back to your country that's fine, but there's actually some very good clinics here in the DR that the doctors do fantastic jobs. Places like Clínica Abreu, Plaza de la salud, CEDIMAT are my choices here in SD. I'm looking at getting Humano because that seems to be the most widely accepted insurance here.
This should not be about perfection.....both are good...take the plunge.....
My Humano Individual Max plan costs roughly 6,000 and a few pesitos quarterly. Annually, 24,000 along with those few pesky pesitos. Monthly figure would be around 2,000 and depending on the current exchange rate, that comes out to roughly $42 US dollars per month. Covers all medical, prescriptions within the allocated allowance, and basic dental work where accepted. I am not sure about optical exams, as I did not believe this would be possible, but I was just informed this week by a dear friend that some ophthalmologists and optometrists may accept the coverage. Read the fine print, and choose carefully.
True, but I think I'll pass. Pay out of pocket for small stuff, and anything major it's only 2+ hours to a Miami hospital.
Plus a Dom insurance co. would never cover the cost of my expensive drugs. I'm out.
Im curious how much would "good" insurance cost for example a family of 5?
