Health care

Hello, and welcome!  We have Blue Cross Blue Shield which I understand is there in PR but I don't know if our policy is accepted there yet.  Hopefully, someone will come along and have some answers for you.

Thank you , blue cross blue shield you have to be a certain age  to qualify for ? I don't know ? But thanks for the warm welcome !!!!

Not sure what your concern or question is:  who is going to deny you coverage?? Medicare????  this is the US for better or worse.   If you sign up for a local plan through MCS or Triple S you will be covered for medicare no matter where you go and here you will get about 99% services including dental and eye care.  when you go to the mainland, you can switch to Medicare and AARP or another plan.... I use MCS and have no issues; my issues were with Medicare since if you are a PR resident you don't automaticall get part B Medicare, you must GO to the office and APPLY for it.   this is stupid medicare and the stupid inequality of the laws.... nothing to do with health care.... Frankly, i think the medical care is pretty good here in the metro area.

Hello thanks for your response! I am just 55yts old so I don't think I qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. My concern is if I drop coverage in the U.S. And get Triple S or other health insurance in PR and then at some point I would want to return to US for surgery or any procedure that I would no longer be able to . My current company retiree health plan is good and very reasonably priced but they have told me if I were to drop them and not have another recognized plan they would not allow me to re-enter their plan again. So thru Cigna I'm trying to find out if they will cover me in both PR and the U.S.
