I am planning to move to Cuenca in a few years. One aspect could be a deal breaker. I take a medication that costs $1100/month w/o insurance. The generic is$600 w/o insurance. With insurance, the copay is $100/month.
I need to understand how much medical insurance will cost in EC and what will be my copay on this medication.
From what I have learned so far, medical insurance will cost 17.6% of my monthly income and I think that medications which are issued from hospital pharmacies are free.
These are some of the questions I hope to learn during my visit of Oct 17 - 22 (next month).
If you have any info on these points, I would love to hear from you.
I would like to meet with one or more expats to hear your stories and will buy you lunch or dinner.
Thanks in advance,
Joe Gaglio
