Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Panama City?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Panama City if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Panama City, they wrote...

"Health care is excellent, in private hospitals, with excellent doctors, specialists, surgeons, nurses, etc....and price are cheaper than the USA. A Healthcare plan here (we are with Cigna but there are many other companies to choose from) covers us, my wife and I, in Panama and worldwide for a fraction of USA health plan cost so Healthcare is very affordable in Panama," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Panama City, Panama.

"Healthcare and health insurance in Panama City can be expensive, depending on the type of coverage and services needed. Private health insurance plans are available, but they can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Public health insurance is also available, but it may not cover all medical expenses either. In general, healthcare costs in Panama City are higher than in other parts of the country, but they are still relatively affordable compared to other countries," commented one expat who made the move to Panama City, Panama.
