Orthapedic Surgery in Medellin

3 months ago
So with the issuance of the M visa for me via marriage to my wife I am now pretty sure I am/will be covered under her insurance with SURA. I am currently listed with my passport. I have a shoulder issue and will likely need surgery for a bursa/rotator cuff problem. I imagine I would be better off going ahead with the surgery in the USA and that it would be a long drawn out process to get approved under SURA.

I have a four grand deductible and an out of pocket of eight grand on the USA unsurance (pun intended). So any educated guesses if I just paid out of pocket in Colombia or the time frame to get surgery under SURA?
