Marcelyn Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks, Keith. I will contact this organization for additional information. The first big question: Is Canadian citizenship a requirement for membership in this program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hil Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Pan American Life in David is an american owned health provider. They are out of new orleans. They have been doing business in central and south america for over 20yrs. I have two plans. Mine is as good if not better than BCBS at half the price for a single person in the USA and it covers all of "central america" not including Mexico. Her Plan is the extact same as mine for Panama only for $101 a month. I couldn't get the Panama Only Plan because of my age, over 65, but it is affordable and a good policy. But they did include Panama in the central american plan. It's all about the money. They require a physical and blood work from Mae Lewis or Hospital Chiriqui. Ironically it pays more when reimbursing for Mae Lewis than Hospital Chiriqui. Hospital Chiriqui is considered "preferred" because of staff and equipment. Ironically, the same doctors work both hospitals I've been told. The equipment must be different to a degree hence the higher price for Hospital Chirqui. Once again, it's about the money. Also, it's about what you can afford. I am covered with Pan Am at one of the best hospitals in the world, Punta Pacifica Hospital, Panama City, Panama (John Hopkins Hospital). If you want to know the price of my coverage message me. If you want details for different plans visit them in the strip mall on the left after crossing the over pass in David. You'll need spanish skills or someone with spanish skills with you. My broker speaks perfect English and helped me at times in the Pan Am office. If you want the brokers name and number message me. He can get you quotes from several companies pretty quick by email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thanks, Hil. But I think it's all about the money and the coverage. Can you give us an idea about what your policy covers? Does it pay hospitalization at 100%? What is the maximum payout limit? What is the deductible? Is it international insurance or restricted to Central America? It would be nice to know these things before exploring the option further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hil Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) 100% hospital 100% surgery 100% anestesia $1000 year for ambulance $100 per event $100 copay hospital $200 copay Punta Pacifica 30% copay xrays $500,000.00 year coverage Transplants max $250,000.00 Yearly deductible $350 $5000 max on pharmacy or medicines vaccinations are listed seperately but cheap And $20,000.00 death policy included $247.00 month As I stated it's for all of central america not Mexico. There are other small benifits but I'm too lazy to type them. Contact Pan Am. My GF has the Same Benifits with the same company for Panama only because she is under 65 and $101 monthly. Different strokes for different folks. I have more coverage than i need in the usa with medicare and 100 disable vet coverage. I just want to cover my ass while in central america. With coverage with Punta Pacifica I doubt I would travel to the US for any treatment. Besides, I was paying $500 monthly for BCBS with less coverage actually. Punta Pacifica is the way to go with serious problems. David hospitals could hopefully stabalize until transfer to Panama City. If you're are under 65 you can save probably minimum $150 a month for good insurance with this company.

JudyS Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Will they cover people over 70? What is BCBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hil Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm over 65. Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can call them about 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Moderator_02 Posted July 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2018 Quote CanadaPLUS Foundation aids Hospital Del Nino Posted on July 4, 2018 in Panama Photo shows ENT specialist Dra Stella Rawling (left) and CanadaPLUS President, Dra Lourdes Quijada Post Views: 93 The Hospital Del Nino is the latest recipient of a donation from the annual Carols by Candlelight charity concert organized by the CanadaPLUS Foundation. Each year, the Foundation uses funds raised at the concert and other events to make donations to local institutions in the form of cash or equipment. Some of the earlier beneficiaries were: Hospital Santo Tomas, Fundacion Calicanto, Hogar Malambo, INAC, National Ballet, and Vision of Hope. In addition scores of thousands of dollars have been funneled into the local business community through the Foundation ’s fundraising activities. This year the Foundation donated equipment that enables medical staff to audit the hearing of potentially deaf young patients and display the results on screen to family members and to train interns. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/canadaplus-foundation-aids-hospital-del-nino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
