I Switched to a Medicare Advantage Plan for Emergency Coverage in Panama

Thank you for the info. I have United Healthcare with my Medicare plan and in one of the FB groups a person said it was not accepted. Thank you for clarifying because I did get the same info from Jackie Lange and felt confident it was accepted. I am scouting there in December so this is good to know. U have helped me immensely!

Glad to know that you are making or researching all your health care decisions so that they fit your needs! Very important stuff😊

The problem with switching to advantage plans is if you ever have to move back to the states they will not switch you back. I watched that example of a man who discovered he had cancer and was stuck in an advantage plan that wasn’t serving him well while non advantage plan allowed him to seek another doctor with different care. One man got well and the other man didn’t. Think wisely.

Thanks for this info.

Thank you. I don't live in Panama yet. I have seen people mention local plans Family Health Care and Mapfre. They also have delays in certain policy benefits to start after sign-up.

Thanks for this info Maggie.

My dear, talking about the difference between expats and immigrants, there is a nuance. If someone doesn't immigrate in search of work, being an expat is more appropriate. But the rule is not to argue. It's the same as business people and customers. The customer is always right. And the role of the businessman is to always show politeness.

Hola Maggie UnitedHealth Medicare advantage is awesome to have for expat seniors to cover in case of emergency but the tricky situation to find a good plan like what you are doing and you we must get our business straight before leaving.

Thanks for the face to face video. I don't care for the cooking and talking videos.. just my preference and ability to understand what you are saying.

Thanks for this realistic look at healthcare options in Panama. Such good information! Thanks, Maggie.
