Medical Insurance suggestions for expats moving to Cordoba, Argentina?

Hi RJ,

I'm the Managing Editor here at Expat Arrivals – while I unfortunately don't have enough knowledge of local providers to recommend any, I can tell you a little bit more about Cigna which may help with your decision. They're an international insurance provider rather than a travel insurance provider, meaning they offer long-term insurance designed for expats as opposed to short-term policies for trips abroad. You can read more on that here.

If you haven't already, you can also take a look at our Healthcare in Argentina page to get to know the system a little better before moving.

For additional advice, it might be worth searching for Argentina expat groups on Facebook. There are generally some large and active communities to be found there, and since it's location specific, hopefully someone will be able to give you more info.

Best of luck with the move.

You might look at buying a 6 month travel insurance plan that would cover emergency medical issues along with providing some other benefits. That would give you some time to do some research on other options.

Otherwise, Cigna offers a Close Care plan that provides coverage in Argentina and your home country. It is slightly more affordable than their regular plans.

Otherwise, BUPA might have some more affordable options in South America.
