I googled this lilnk and I think you will find it will answer just about every question you may have on the medical coverage available in Uruguay.

If it doesn't it has links to other areas where I'm sure you can find the answers you are looking for. Enjoy.

Don't forget the local options like the British Hospital which will probably cost you around US$50 a month for "health insurance".

• Hospital Britanico

They both seem to be good links for anyone looking to have medical coverage in Uruguay.

I'm sure there are many more links like these so maybe we should be looking to find the others so everyone will have more choices.

However, I do like the first one because it's not just about medical information it has other things as well.

That actually is a very good link for a lot of information. Thank you for putting it there.

I guess I should say both links but the first one seems to cover a lot more than just medical and I'm sure it will help a lot for people looking for answers.

Thanks for sharing these links. I had wondered how did the health care system match up compared to other countries. Does anyone know if there is a government funded insurance for those who are at poverty level?

Comment #5 Sweet Angel from cloud nine -

You mean is it socialized medicine? Or is it a private party system? I'm going to venture a guess that if there's health insurance then it isn't government subsidized.

I pay the British Hospital, a private hospital about $45/month for my "health insurance" here. You decide which hospital you want to be a member of and pay them monthly.

There is some public health care. I had surgery at the Military Hospital which is a public hospital, though as a paying customer I had priority in line for blood tests and doctors appointments.

The appointments ran about US$12. At the British Hospital a non member would pay about US$50 for an Dr's appt. A member pays a hair over US$4.

The British Hospital wouldn't let me become a member before I had the surgery and wanted significantly more than the Military Hospital.

I think the prices have doubled or so since you wrote that Lee. Still depending on where you get it the starting price is about US$50/month.
