Thanks Bob. Which do you have your policy with? Is it Humano or something else?

Sorry Bob I just noticed from a previous post that you are with Universal. Do you have a website for them?

There are a number of health insurance companies in the Dominican Republic. Here a the top three providers in order of clients (highest first)

Humano (https://humano.com.do/)
Universal (https://www.arsuniversal.com.do/SitePages/Inicio.aspx)
Palic Salud (http://arspalicsalud.com.do/)
among others

All of these provide health insurance options that work overseas including Canada. These international insurances can be expensive depending on the deductible chosen.
