Is there a doctor whose prescriptions are accepted by US insurance? Some of my meds are not available here, and I am spending almost $1000 per month for meds without insurance.

It sounds like you need a doctor licensed in both the USA and Panama. I'm not sure why someone practicing in one place would go through all the trouble of maintaining a license in the other place, but never say never.

$1000/mo?! Maybe you could get a doctor in Miami or somewhere in the US, go there every few months, and get your meds with your insurance. That might be cheaper overall than paying out of pocket here?

I've heard meds are a lot cheaper in Colombia. Maybe someone here knows about getting meds from there?
