Hola amigos,
Has anybody had any experience with CIGNA insurance. I’m considering them for med coverage for the first few months in UY. Any thoughts on that.
As always I appreciate the help from the forum members and hope to be able to return the favor some day soon. (I arrive in less than two weeks.)

I use Cigna but with the Worldwide annual policy. If you want just a Major Medical policy to cover a short time and just in UY consider travelers insurance instead. Many firms offer that too.

In UY you may need an ambulance service as 911 doesn’t cover the ambulance. Where I am, a coverage by Cardiomovil gets doctor visits, nursing such as wound treatment etc for a few dollars a visit. So if you are in good health you can forgo the outpatient and wellness coverage perhaps?

Why not sign up with a Mutualista such as Medica Uruguaya, Asoc. Española or similar ?

Depending where you plan to live, the options will vary.
