As a foreigner living in Puerto Rico, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Puerto Rico if they have access to public healthcare in Puerto Rico. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Puerto Rico, you will have access to public healthcare. Puerto Rico's public healthcare system is known as the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration (PRHIA). It provides comprehensive health coverage to all Puerto Ricans, including those who are not citizens. The PRHIA covers a wide range of services, including preventive care, hospitalization, and prescription drugs. It also provides access to specialists and mental health services. The quality of care provided by the PRHIA is generally considered to be good, and the cost of care is relatively low compared to other countries," said another expat in Puerto Rico.
