Medicina prepagada is a type of prepaid private health insurance offered in Colombia. "Medicina prepagada insurance is not related to your income. I have it and there was zero discussion about my income. My medicina prepagada is through a separate company from my EPS. So when enrolling they had no way to see any information from Sura, my EPS. Prepagada costs have more to do with age and level of coverage," explained one expat.
