Is this pricing still current?
The MS Chiriqui plan is not insurance, it is a prepaid partial indemnification plan. You do get some discount vouchers for doctors visits also. They cover a portion of the little stuff and are pretty good on accident coverage, not much more.
They are almost worthless for a major issue that will exhaust their $18,000 or as you described $9000 on a preexisting claim after two years of payment. The rub is they are the only option for pre-existing conditions in Chiriqui, so for many something makes you feel more secure than nothing. If you pay $62 a month as I do, in two years that is $1488 toward a $9000 maximum on a pre-existing condition claim. That is for services at Hospital Chiriqui. For anything serious you want to get to Panama City ASAP not linger in David.
Thank you for clearing that up Lee.
Now if we could find out who did this.....who created the Roberto Saldana persona.....the hog farm hoax, etc.
