Expat Healthcare Advice
Pay the higher insurance premium to insure quicker access to specialists. Have at least a working knowledge of the language as most doctors speak no English.
Emergency Medical Care
FOS-UNAB will be open soon and will be state of the art for Colombia. Will cater to foreign nationals who want good quality medical care at roughly half the price charged in the US.
Other hospitals or clinics are run by the EPS'S or insurance entities while one or maybe two are "public" and who serve all comers. My EPS is SaludCoop, one of the country's largest but as with most, is having financial concerns, paying providers, causing a terrible cash flow problem with the hospitals. Politicians vow they will change the whole system putting it totally under government control

Prescription Medicines
yes and no...I took Nexium in the US for many years. Here, I can only get the generic . but, it seems to work just as well.
prescriptions or "formulas" as they are known here, are a joke, any pharmacy will sell you whatever you need as long as you have the money.
Lots of the popular brand meds are not available here, such as Tums, Tylenol, but the local replacements once again, work well.
meds are definitely not expensive.. My generic Nexium costs me 9.100 Colombian pesos a month...about $4.50 US.
