We are Canadians, who currently visit the Dominican for less than 6 months in a year. Sosua and Cabarete areas. The importance of the "less than 6 months" is that we are still covered by our provincial medical plan in Canada while in the DR. Until now we have paid for DR insurance, used to be very low cost, now it is becoming quite expensive.
Concerns then become:
- if we need medical care while in the DR can we get the care and pay for it with a credit card?
- costs for care in the DR generally very low, may or may not be worth trying to get reimbursement from our provincial medical plan.
Looking for comments if possible from Canadians who go the "no-insurance route" and advice on any pros and cons.
