I am moving to Panama, will live in a city, not Panama City. I am on a very restricted budget. In short, I have the need for good medical care and many Drugs. What our the benifits, if any I can receive with a Pensinatdo visa, regarding health care. I cannot afford Surgeries or cancer should that occur. I can bus to P city for specialists. I appreciate all the help you wonderful expats can offer me, as I am leaving soon and am and adventurous man. I have not a family in the USA. Here I have Medicare, I know it is useless in Panama, but I do not want to come back. Semper Fi. Fellow expats. Ron Weiland forcerecon430@gmail.com

I'm sorry I can't give you any advice on living in Panama but if you are a marine, I wish you all the best. Money and excellent health care should not be an issue for you, no matter where you choose to live. Good luck

Marine ... if you retired and still keep tricare, you can always be seen in Panama out of pocket, but keep the receipt, then file it through your tricare office. If you have VA medical benefits, you can do the same. With each program, and before leaving the US, register with tricare as tricare international and with the VA as VA foreign care. I submit my larger medical receipts and it takes between 90-120 days for reimbursement. Most of my doctor visits I simply PT out of pocket and not worry about filing the receipt. Most doctor visits, depending on where you will call home, range between $5-30 bucks a visit. My doc charges $7 bucks.
