Health Insurance Plan

alvarez7361

Hello all, I have been in Puerto Plata for over a year.

I am trying to figure out which is the best medical insurance plan for a foreigner living in the DR? 


I appreciate any advice.


Thanks in advance.

I can  tell you that  if you are under  age 65 you have multiple options. the two big companies which have decent service are Humano and Universal.  I say decent as NO ONE has good service so we do the best we can. I have a large group with Humano and am most familiar with them. 


If you are over  65 there is only one option and its not good.

Hello, thank your for your reply. I will definitely look at those 2 options.


I am 60, but my brother is 67, which is the one and only option for him?


Both of us are US citizens.


Thanks again for your help

citizenship wont matter but age does. the only option for your brother is  Senasa and its only available via their website.

I was told that is only available to Dominican Citizens and not for foreigners. But I will check into it.

Thanks for your help. We appreciate it.

My husband and I are in Planner's Humano Max plan. We have both had surgery - mine minor, his a spinal disc replacement. Sometimes getting the authorization is tricky, but Planner helps with that as well. Overall, we've been very happy with the insurance over the past 5 years.
