Medical in Chile

Every resident of Chile has national insurance, as a legal teacher there who has registered for residency, you too will have this coverage. In most cases, when you arrive and go through the paperwork to legally get a working visa, temporary residency forms and national medical forms will be part of the legalization process.

BE AWARE: you will not actually have coverage until the end of your first month or later. We highly advise you go with expat medical insurance.

Insurance here varies from school to school but may be something like this:

Reembolso 50% remedies con receta medica
Reembolso 50% consultas medicas y examenes
Reembolso de gasto do operaciones 50% de lo que no cubre la Isapre
Deducible mas o menos $10.000-el la primera situación de reembolso
Prescriptions are available but may not be exactly the same.
Count on allergies to be affected by smog and dust.

Megan Cramer “I recently returned from my first year in Korea. I spent it in Jeonju where the foreign community is very close and open to all new people. Footprints made the journey so easy, especially their step-by-step guide to getting all paper work done properly the first time! I was placed with/chose a decent school where the teachers and students were great. I occasionally had troubles, but it was not Footprints fault, but a cultural difference and I had to learn to change my thinking to better negotiate my needs. No journey is a walk in the park, but Footprints made the difficult and stressful parts more bearable. I am glad I went with them, and if or when I go back, I would like to be represented by Footprints!”
